No we did it the same way, I couldnt believe we drove across that stream ( the rocky bit ) in the dark without stopping :shock: , it was horrendous in the daylight, 4 inches one way and the car would have rolled.

The first group used waffle boards and a rail sleeper to get down it, our group opted for staking a few rocks at the bottom of the drop and gritting our teeth, have to say, I did made it without anything under the car other than the tyres hitting the deck 8) was well chuffed.
A lot of the mud seems to have washed away, seemed less claustrophobic in daylight to.

The first group did some great balancing acts on the sleeper though :shock:

Well I'm back.

Superb weekend, as ever the company was top draw and the lanes 1st class. Piccies great, wait till you see the ones I took of Weave with his camera :wink:

Bernie, like Steve said, I was flabbergasted at the length where we got stuck, was just a tiny bit of the lane. Hasnt lost any charm though :D

Hope to do the last ones from Sat on a nice day, the views must be cracking.

Hope everyone got home safe, anyone heard of Graeme?

That's bad news from Graham.

Absolutely cracking 3 days laning, but the cold got to me over the two nights, lost sleep and was very tired - sorry if I was a bit miserable. I have had a nap now though, so will sort through the photos and post a few in a bit. Also got a bit of video to sort through.

Back in a bit.

Those pics we took certainly dont do the stream crossing any justice do they. It was damn good fun though. Thanx to Alex for givin Dan & me a chance to leed a group, it was really enjoyable actually. Just put a bid in on a pin 570 on the bay. Thought i did well navigating if i do say so my self :mrgreen:
Only missed two lane entrances :lol: n not by much either. Alex u aint gonna stop us now fella :lol: every time we go out i'm gonna be on at ya to let us leed :twisted: . Absolutely loved it. We ain't stopped talkin about that lane n stream crossin.
