Derbyshire Sunday 10th Feb...

Bump · Feb 5, 2013

Heading out with a couple of people on Sunday, starting in North Derbyshire and working south.

Only running one group and keeping the group to a sensible size.

This trip is for modified vehicles only with experienced drivers - I'm not normally fussy about who I take laning, however, there are a few lanes we are doing on this trip that standard vehicles and standard tyres will not cope with, and, we really just want a nice quiet trundle round Derbyshire, not start messing around winching people up stuff if it can be avoided.

If you want an argument about the capability of "standard" vehicles and tyres then do a :search: - it's been covered many times before

(Those inexperienced in laning or who have standard vehicles, i will no doubt be organising another trip in a month or so and will make sure that one is friendly for all

)

A good day out with very unexpected , snow bustin' conditions.

Shall put a few pics up in a bit.

Mark L · Feb 10, 2013

Steve/Jo - good to meet you both.
Lovin' that Bobtailed Disco!!

Mark L · Feb 10, 2013

They're only a selection of mobile pics but better than no pics as all.

Bump · Feb 10, 2013

Yep, awesome day out, no breakages for once either! Though i still have alternator belt issues

Good photo's there Mark

will go find some of mine

And Steve & Jo are perfect examples that not all newbees are idiots, they were great company and good sports with snow bashing

Oh and thanks Matt (of the Ginga Beard variety) for doing the gates to save me the hassle

Thanks to bump for Leading and mark for the offer of the passenger seat.

Our new to laning and v8's newbies(Steve and Jo) were very pleasant also. Overall a good and impromptu day out for me.

After being out in the snow all day i realised i definately needed a pair of neoprene wellies so thanks to Marks other half i have purchased a pair. thanks again for that.

Here is my photo offering:

Thanks again all

good day.

Went outside to check after seeing it and sure enough... :lol:

As you'll remember, some of us never got to do Hollinsclough due to hassle we had last time, and I for one certainly didn't fancy reversing back down it, again, hence the polite request for non-standard vehicles...

I did mention in the initial post that this topic has been covered to death, and, that we don't normally have any issues taking standard vehicles and/or novices, we just wanted an easy run out for the day.

And there is no way a standard would have coped with some of that snow. I had to back off in my Series to let Mark and Steve have a go at the snow bashing as my lower ground clearance was an issue with it. (That, and we all wanted a go at it 'cus it was emense fun!)
