I am up for a trip to the lakes Depending on date
Just had a look on utube and looks like there is some interesting rock climbs

Just a quick note on this one folks at a 100inch wheelbase max it will be SWB only

To save you looking LWB Fronty comes in at 108.7 inches

If you click on the link it says on point 8 about the length of wheel base.

Why only swb Bern

There are several lanes that have a wheelbase limit & this is one of them the reasoning behind it is that there are several really tight bends & LWB cars would rapidly churn the lane at these points,upsets a few people but it is a "bigger picture" thing & the lane will last longer for it

[big red fronty]

was thinking of maybe either the 3rd july or 1st august.
just need to know numbers as when you apply for permits, you have to give details.

[damrabbit]

if you was wondering i'd like to go
1st august best for me

[Road Hog]

[marlbororman]

[big red fronty]

[john boy]

I'd loved to havd done it was going last may but it got closed due to some planks driving off the lane but i'm on hoilday that weekend then up around tan hill area of yorkshire the next weekend on an overnighter. northen monkeys have gone this weeend but it's closed due to snow

That's a bit unfair ow well to keep the peace it will have to be

[Road Hog]

As I said Jason view the bigger picture bud,better that it is restricted than closed ask if anybody wants a co pilot

[colley]

You can jump in with me if you want mate Or i can get my friend the angle grinder out and make your truck 100inch

[dodge]

tempted......but think i need some practice first...

whats deadline day?
