We got off to a late start because i was a bit of an air head and forgot my GPS device, that and getting the new Net Book in car holder set up right, so thanks to Andy and Lou for putting up with me for that lol.

anyway we finally got a way and took in the usually couple of local lanes before heading for Lopwell dam and then onto the water front before continuing or way up through the Tamar Valley, we picked up a couple of Motorcyclist on route who were looking for a few lanes before they headed off for an event that was on this weekend.

took in a couple of lanes I havent done for a while although it was all a bit out of order to what I had Planned, me ignoring Tom Tom Thinking I knew where I was going.... lol so we had to double back on our selfs but hey it's all part of the day and it didn't really matter.. just the logged route on Quo looks a bit odd.

onwards and upwards we head for Lydford Byway to check it out... yea all the puddles are now dry and filled with Hardcore :( but still a nice drive, onto the lane near Forda before heading back along Lydford byway for the return leg of the day.

started to skip a few lanes on the way back as time was pressing on but still managed to find a couple of intersting lanes for Lou to enjoy... one was the little short lane just after the harvest moon car park lane very differant to do in the Pajero so used to doing it in a Vit which is easier to judge with the shorter, lower bonnet.


then to end the day a long stretch of tarmac before dropping into Meavy Ford for a splash; even with the spot of rain we had overnight the level was still lower than i expected, though it had made the ground a bit soft in places through out the day which ment a little care was needed with the well worn AT's on the rear of the Paj slipping from time to time, the new Coopers AT's on the front kept us pointed in the right direction and pulled us through giving bags of grip.

sorry no pics from me even though I did take a camera... :blink:
