Well ...what can i say ...it was an Awesome day out ... Thanks for taking us Paul Nice to meet you Miss Evil, Frodo (think that's who you are) ..and supersurf. we met at the Kings Arms at around 10:45 am and after a breif wait we headed off for Lopwell (went past the lower boat house lane ... god that looked rough today) Supersurf has got a vid of us going over lopwell ...and the lane up the other side wa s fairly easy (apart from the middle bit which was a bit of a suprise) but made it up over the step after changing into 4wd. can't say which lanes were which but some lanes were loads tighter than others (i know theres a photo or two of some interesting points :lol: ) Lydford byway is as every bit great to drive as the pics on here show it ...want to do that one again sometime (bit slower through the big puddles though). Had to split up from Paul's crew at the end of Lydford ...... Sorry guys. had a real blast today ..thanks

glad you all enjoyed yourselfs was nice to run those lanes again as its been a while (mustn,t overuse the lanes you know) took in a cple local lanes nr tamerton then proceeded to lopwell.as carl said the lower crossing was quite rough a lot of water rushing threw,we crossed at the damm and up other side.we then done all the local lanes till moving towards lydford. the byway was very wet loads of water and lots of mud sydnem damerell being a bit tight for carls fronters took out carls rear window ouch we then went of towards brentor before finishing up around tavistock area. thanks again people a fun day had |

looks like you had a good day sorry i couldnt join you thought it best not to under the curcumstances so i had to suffer a large roast dinner in a pub.... the trial of my data logger was only a part success, i think the battery was low as it got the route to chillington and then nothing.. before that its got a couple of wobbly points where it looks like you drove in a large figure of eight at about 300mph at an altidude of 4000 odd feet i'll have to make sure the battery is charge fully next time |
