went on a few lanes today. no pics as of yet.


Will post them up


first one is the short cut between ivybridge and cornwood.

called stibbs lane, not been used for a while to normal traffic as there is a mahoosiv puddle - no scrub that lake halfway into the lane, that said a tractor had been down it, cos i got stuck in its ruts for about 30 feet!

its a good lane that mate,
did you go all the way through and come out on the A 38 ?
there is a ballard there hidden in the grass on the left hand side as you come out onto the A 38,
SO BE CAREFULL,

yea stibbs is well known cracking little lane, just a point you really shouldnt go alone especially at this time of year have at least one other car with you ( if you did i'm sorry i'll shut up :P )

see what happened to Jim on a really easy lane under the tips section...

the lanes change rapidly in the wetter months

yeah its a great lane, yeah i know i went on my own, but i did proveed cautiously! that said said will heed your advice - tho its my new toy - and couldnt wait to test its abilities!!

Dont be sorry for giving out sound info - i appreciate bluntness!!!

Didnt go down gipsy lane, which is the other half of stibbs lane, and never knew it went all the way down to the A38!!

Where else is good in and around plymouth?
