in the end only 3 trucks went out to explore some lane we havent done for a while Red Otober had to drop out due to technical problems.
The tides where wrong for a river Tavy crossing so a road trip and a bridge crossing before taking in a ferw lanes through the lower tamar valley before pressing on to the Lydford byway and a packed lunch in the sun sat on on top of the moor.. stunning.

from Lyford we headed for Oakhampton and the west side of Darmoor for our return trip, here thanks to Digital mapping we explored a couple of new lanes to us that are just off the paper maps i normally use, nothing technical but still a couple of nice wide lanes one winding it's way through the woods.

pressing on through a few more lanes to Dickford Bridge and the ford at North Bovey last time we were here it was on the D3 weekend for lanes tracks and trails glad to report this time the ford was back to normal levels and was no more than a wheel wash. from here Big Nasty led us to a freinds house for coffee and a chat before heading home after a great day out.

so Big thanks to Big Nasty for a simply great day of back to basics enjoyable laning in the sun :thumbsup:

was a good day all in all taking in some old favorites.
3 trucks ment faster moiving so more lanes got covered inc a few new ones i havnt done befor.had a issue with sans vitara wich ment a short tow to a suitable place where we repaired it and moved on again.later in the day my gps shit itself so back to the old fashioned way..a short stop at newton abbot then home.met a very aggresive man early in the day whom when asked politely if he could move his vehicle wich was obstructing the lane basicly gave me a load of abuse.....after i told him not a problem i would move it myself with the shogun he rather rapidly moved on :lol: a good day all in all ....

in a word No....

didnt data log the route as its 99% well known lanes, but dont worry we will no doubt run this or a very simular route in the future again as we do enjoy the lanes out that way... I'm sure you have done a few of them with us though Carl.
