One thing I would strongly recommend is that you get yourself a professional training session. It will be well worth the cost and may well save you from learning one or two things the hard way!!!!

Hi Andy,

Thanks so much for that - I am grinning from ear to ear :) the play days just happen to be on my birthday weekend too - what a bonus..... I am just north of Buxton so the venue is perfect :)

The Deak & Pukeries must be nearish to you too, they claim the peak district as being in their catchment.

Traci,

An online 4x4 club with regular events is located here :

And of course

You may or may not have lots of nice green lanes near you too.

we used to have some 'round here 'til they got buggered up.

What happened to them, over use?

I think some members of Glass near me are planning a trip up your way some time in the near future. You're not too far from Strata Florida are you?

On or around 5 Mar 2004 14:07:10 GMT, Simon Barr enlightened us thusly:

Over use by a particular organisation, according to those who live nearby. there's one in particular [details by email on request - it's a very sensitive area] which it turns out apparently is NOT a BOAT - this has been basically trashed - you'd not get a standard LR up it.

Others in the area are being over-used, too, although legally. To be fair, a fair part of the one mentioned above is marked as a BOAT on the OS map - NOT, however, the whole length, and now apparently (to late) it's become apparent that it shouldn't have vehicular rights.

There's a good deal of resentment about "off-roaders" in the area. I think a large part of this is aimed at the organisation alluded to (I'm well aware of the slander/libel laws, TYVM) which has a website claiming access to large amounts of private off-road tracks, pity then that they need to bugger up the plot for the rest of us.

The majority of greenlanes are NOT suitable for regular use. I know that each party only comes once or twice a year, but there are just too many people chasing too few lanes now, and I foresee in the not-to-distant future that they'll all end up closed apart from a few where the local organisations are able to maintain them.

not that far, no. There's a route from Strata down to the "Abergwesyn road" (treagron-abergwesyn) which I've never actually driven. That's not the one referred to above, BTW. Difficult to find the northern (Strata) end of it, too many forestry roads about the place.
