I am happy to have a second group but would want an experienced person to lead :wink:
It would not be safe to have a group of un experienced people going off laning on there own for obvious reasons :wink:

If you are desperate (and lets be honest you'd have to be ) I would lead a group at a push. I'd just have to try and teach the kids how to read memory map coz I struggle to drive and make sense of MM at the same time :|

Yeah like Colley said I've only done the lane once guys and it's not the sort of lane where I'd be happy to take people as it's really easy to get into some serious trouble out there. Like I said me and Colley had some

If a second group does come about, I would love to join in the fun and get my name down.


I havent done the strata before, but I do have MM, and would lead if necesary. I could always do a recce :)

BTW if anyone has an android phone, you can down load the Beta MM app from their website FOC at the moment. It might be useful for someone.

I am definately up for it, I have just thought of one thing I need to check before fully commiting, MOT due date, I know it is around then, just cant remember exactly when. If it due after then all is good, if its before I would be nervous about it passing :oops: . Ill let you know when i get home.
