Green Lanes around Derbyshire 10th May 2014
Posted: Sun May 11, 2014 9:48 pm
A nice day out. We met up in a crakin' cafe in Buxton, then following a GPX file I found somewhere on the web.
I went with Craven in the Vitara, and a guy we've not met before in the GV. I think this was his first laning trip in the GV, but has been before on motorbikes. He missed a couple of the hard ones out (Hollins Clough) as it is his daily drive, and he couldn't concentrate over the wife's screaming
We came across one lane in Bamford, where a local told us to not bother trying as a tree was blocking it. No, the locals had obviously tried to block it with some cut branches. So we removed them.
Then we had a minor incident with the ball joint lift bracket on the rear axle of the Vitara. It broke! Luckily he had a spare, so we repaired it.
