hi all,
yes there was a few die hards about, i have never seen so many stuck up noses, they just dont like us using the lanes, i pulled up every time to let them pass and bid them good day and only a few will respond, fair play to them, im not suprised though, there is a lot of damage just off the lanes. my memory map of the peaks let me down big time, just aswell i had a hard copy in the cab
hi boxa im up on the binley road binley
thanks for comments about my pride and joy
just spending a few hours getting the brecons soughted for the next trip and some of the surrounding areas
memory map on a road angel 7000 is handy but i think i will always use a laptop
wife is getting good at using it though |

You have not exhausted the lanes in the peaks though I don't think, there are well over 200 lanes that I know off....

We should...
Although the 2010 Land Ranger maps seem to have loads on worth investigating...
I can feel a trip to the peaks coming up....
I know a fella that lives in the peaks and he know literally most lanes in the peaks so I will ask him when he is next out...
Where about do you live?
Oh Coventry haha.... that is not to far from here really...
When you going Wales?
Some of us go there regularly.... _________________ Early K-reg (UK truck) Landcruiser Amazon 4.2 TD VX |
