As Pauly said, what a stunning day. Have now lost my 'laning virginity', and boy what a rush. The first lane we did was not exactly beginners stuff right lads (see pictures)? Bent my ariel, cracked my rear fog light off and have scratched the wheel arches to b*gery! Worth it though! Thanks a lot guys, see you out there again soon. Hope you get your truck back on the road soon Pauly!

Here are some pictures:

hmm i've driven part of that one and the too narrow sign is on the other side of the lane, hidden in the undergrowth..

unless its the entrance from the other end. there is how ever another too narrow lane hat way that i havent even looked at

As far as I remember the sign was only at one end- the exit as shown in the picture above of me looking wrung out, but we could have just missed it on our way in. Red I think the photos you posted in this section a few months ago are the same lane. I recognise the sign and blimmin big boulder half way down. The one you lost a mirror on? It is seriously tight anyway. I believe my exact words were 'tighter than a ducks ars*!

it probably is Andy ......but it was a good few years ago since we did it.

i said then we wouldn't be doing that one again ...and so far haven't (although i have been tempted.) i also said the same about the (is it ) "Five ways" at buckfastleigh... but since that we've done it a few times :lol: :lol:
