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.Lee D

No probs Hugh, do you have Memory map? If so I'll bung you the route on an overlay, If you have got it let me know which verision too, I have version 4 but can always send it as an export so you can import to version 5 if necessary.

I've been sent some more today which have route cards and appear in the text to be a bit more testing in places.

I'm told by one of the Crag reps that the route we are doing is Freelander / Rav friendly so I'd think your tanks will be fine. Anything dodgie and we can do an about turn. I've a vision of a scenic day out. The route is 45 miles long and 25 miles seems to be on Green lanes. I've longer routes but theres always another time.

Hey Lee, if you send me a copy I'll send you an overlay of a laning trip I did some time back, two days of zipping around in the Brecon Beacons. Most of it was fairly easy, one part had some big rock steps that stopped the rev-happy brigade but us slow-n-easy types got up it without dramas.

Yep this one's valid. I'm just cloning a VM to install Memory Map into, I don't fancy separating out my Wales trip from the rest of my crud on my landy laptop, a P75 with 90 megs of RAM... I'll guess your address and forward on the overlay once done.

Can I have a copy of the route Lee? How many people are going - do you plan to split into more than one group?

Navara arrives next week so I fancy a little trundle out. I probably won't have any toys fitted by then, but I can bung the laptop on the passenger seat.

So far only interest is Yourself, Hugh and Tom, I think Hugh is toying with the idea, Toms running out side now to sort his diff / half shaft no doubt having spent far too long inside in the warmth. Oh and me and the family :-)

It clashes with the world record attempt at the longest landrover procession so a few who would have come are joining a traffic jam instead.

I've a plan a route which I'll send...

I'll also send a few others I have sat here.

Count me in - I only hesitated to allow time for others who may never have been down there - and who also may have a 101. Incidentally whose was the orange beast in Bickerton last weekend, parked next to my Defender?

No problem, Were just debating 101 or Disco (also LPG chassis tanks).

I've a route of about 45 miles (circular) with around 25 being on lanes and another of 77 miles (circular back to Oswestry) which looks like it has some stunning scenary and again around half if not more lanes.

Clonked back up again.

T minus 6 Days , At present it's the "Owestry 3" (vehicles that is). Any one else interested? Could get another one or two vehicles in the group.

Plan B is a 77 miler circular route taking in Lake Vyrnwy (bring a pic nic). Day will afford stops for leg streching and kiddies to vent. Nothing extreme just scenic country green lanes and a couple of river/ford crossings (easily navigated around)

Cheers,
