Shropshire/Mid Wales Border - Lane Day Sat 8th April

I've been getting out an about in Morph (101 Ambi) recently and researching some lanes. There are no local ones in my County that can justify a good long day out but I've now been sent a route which I'm told is 101 Ambi friendly, not too challenging as is possible at a push to do solo. (Though clearly one would not entertain doing lanes solo)

I'm hoping some like minded denziens of AFL would like to partake too. Following the usual Off roading bodies rules of engadgement I'd like to have a group of no more than 4-5 vehicles for each group. If any one is interested please say I.

This is of course unofficial and purely a meet and a jolly. This may also provide a moment of hair letting down for those of us who can't :-( get to the unoffical which Graham is pulling together. This will be purely a one day hit.

Plan A is a 45 mile route of which around half is utilising greenlanes.

April the 8th (see the subject line). I've put some more details here as I've also plugged the day with the Yahoo 101 group. Hopefully should save any repeat of the same old text.

:-D

I believe there are more green lanes in Shropshire than any other county. Been out there a couple of times with the LR club lads.

May be best to abort this plan due to the implications od NERC until we see exactly what is / isn't going to be happening and the status of the lanes is confirmed :-(

The bill hasn't yet got royal assent, until then, you can still carry on as normal!

Si,

I'm trying to keep abreast of this lot, am I right in thinking that it is intened to be law (if getting royal assent) in April? Thats the only reason I'm considering aborting.

Got my eye on a nice truck cab 110 at the mo for laning. If it comes off I'll try my hand!

still in the discussion stages in the House of Lords, then has to go back to the Commons and committee stages, so now unlikely to be implemented until May at the earliest.

Do you reckon a Nissan would manage the route?

If it's the company one 2x4 ... DEFINATELY ;-)

if not it may need a suspension lift.

Seriously if it's 4x4 though I've been told nothing to suggest otherwise. Not done this route myself before.

4x4 and limited slip diff in the back. Might surprise a few people :)

Wouldn't mind giving it a test, as long as it doesn't get scratched....

Penny has just dropped, you got the Navarna then? Just been told it won't be hardcore a off road axle fest. More a scenic drive in the countryside, I do have a load of other routes out that way though which are more testing.

If you can send me details of your route I'll check on my map see if I've done them before. There are loads of lanes that are straightforward and reasonably maintained. The locals have a regular green lane clearing day in conjunction with Shropshire county council.

Put me down as a reserve if there's a space - shiny vehicle with LPG tanks underneath.
