AFL 2009 Away Day .. reprise ... ;)

Arseflaps, i'm away for the first & the seconds not loooking good. I'll ahve a word with Jane.

We're away for all of half term renovating my olds house in france, so going to be doing stuff at home each weekend, so we'll not be able to make it :-(

To reply direct rot13 me

bURRt the 101 Camper

200TDi Disco with no floor - its being fixed at last! 200 TDi Disco, "the offroader" 1976 S3 Lightweight

Nope - Working both days :-(

Im game, we just need to find a date!

March anyone!

Yeah ... ;)

I'm keen too but bear in mind though that many routes are closing in the peaks so whoever takes responsibility for leading needs to do some research first :-(

Failing all that come up to the place I work at Tong and have a play at the off-road site. I take my D3 round so no probs with damage/scratches!!

yessir

with enough notice, almost any date is do-able (now watch that plan crumble)

sounds good to me.

/me waves

yep - count me in

looks like it.

7th March commited

21st March - probably commited

No damage or scratches?........Have you asphalted it? :-) I don't think I had a straight panel on mine after going to Tong. Enormous fun though, I used to go quite a lot a few years ago, just occasionally got a bollocking for finding new tracks and once for ending up in the river on my side, but that was unintentional. Winch was always essential.

eeeeewwwwww

Naughty boy!

On or around Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:46:52 -0000, "Nige" enlightened us thusly:

your expletives are getting ever more inventive.

Call it a gift.

So, lets try it a different way...

Anyone even remotely interested email me (notcheckedever at hot mail dot com) with saturdays or sundays that are free up till April, say. I'll keep this all in confidence, and pick the dates that most can go on .. I don't mind leading twice as it's a good route. This way we might get an outing or more together, even if not for all of us at once

Or should we just keep it ad-hoc, I'll set a date when I can go and if anyone wants to come they can, which hasn't been successful so far ... I can probably get a mate or two to come along who isn't in AFL and I'm keen to try Stanage, Chapelgate and Monsall which are potentially very challenging lanes.

But was he born with it or has it developed due to his environment upbringing, education etc., You know, the nature versus nurture argument.

I like a challenge.

What are they like?

Dunno, but supposed to be larger steps than Roych Clough .. the one we went down that needed guidance. Stanage has a voluntary code of practice to only go down it, but it is still supposed to be quite bad, though passable with care downhill ... ;)

Monsall is supposed to be muddy, possibly rutted and just a long, awkward lane especially if wet, but right over the tops, down into the valleys and absolutely stunning scenery.

I haven't driven any of them, but if you, and a couple of others are up for it I'll check maps etc and arrange something ???

Same thing, email me with a few dates.

If anyone wants to come on 'the usual' run or the 'Stanage' run send me a mail and I'll sort something out for both sets of people.

I've recently took a group greenlaning round Doncaster, mostly benign lanes, only slightly scratchy and which a Freelander would get through, and a few months ago round North Yorks and am quite enjoying the challenge of arranging routes etc, though they've mostly been for newcomers rather than regular off-roaders. Also looking at going into Wales sometime this year as part of another group to get a feel for the Welsh lanes with a view to arranging a trip later in the year for AFL .. maybe!!
