Lancs Lanes Part 2

well guys me and scoobiedoo attempted to do the greenlane but unfortunatly i bottled it it was a bit hairy i think i only managed about 100yrds of it until i turned round to andy and said i did not want to go any further without someone more experienced in front (driftwood do you fancy attempting it???)
the lane was narrow as you'll tell in the vid I've uploaded did take a couple of pics, I think andy and em actually took some as well so they should be uploaded soon,
me and scoobiedoo taking in the pendle view!!

hi

you did nothing wrong you know your own mind & limitation

you would have felt worse if you had damaged the fronty or got stuck
you made a judgement call on your ability nothing wrong in that

ive been on worse bits just going fishing and reversed into a tree
cheers

No shame in turning around rob.

I was apprehensive at first doing laning, but you just gotta bite the bullet and go for it! T-cut is a marvalous invention.
