wetroads wrote:Tissington is a ford of sheer quality. On this visit, the depth gauge read half a foot. I watched as the National Park Ranger flew through creating a splash higher than his Defender and decided that I might give this one a miss for now. The splashdown lasts for around 7 car lengths, but a slightly rocky and uneven bottom means a nervous crossing for light vehicles at all but low flows. However, this one can be hit at speed in a 4x4 and is well worth a visit

I think it'll be a good laugh Mat

There are tons of Lanes around the Area, but I'd need Lawrence to have a dig around the OS/LandRanger/Wayfinder Bits to find out what's available and can be used for a Half-Days Running!!

Sorry,
Here's where I'm going to try to get us into.
PUB & B&B
The Main Prices are £40 to £60 a night B&B ..
That IS PEAK PRICES !!!
We're Going Off-Peak and more than one room!!
I'd say it is well worth it , a Full 16oz Gammon (Sorry Carl) Steak with
Egg, Chips and Veg was under £8 !!

Dunno , this is 27 years ago when I was around about 15 years old me and two mate where camping at a place called Wetton Mill, that had a ford, but Im nt sure if it was a private road or not.
It was great as kids, the ford and river was flowing , then walk 50 yards and it filtered away within 3 metres underground 
Aint limestone great

Hi Guys
Hope the pics have wetted your appetite for getting dirty and wet all in the same weakend.
I hope your not staeling my job SS as the Fording run is my baby and the Tissington 1 will be included. I am also going to plan to stop somewhere of interest for a bite to eat and a little wander round if you want 2 thought it would be a change.

good good, nice to see you're doing Dry Runs, they'll also double as Health & Safety .. also Check the Base of the Ford for it's condition!!
Let me know when & I'll keep a Stella Cold in the Pub
