Yeah there is a fair few of us around, but due to the amount of lanes in the midlands we are all over the place. Keep an eye out for warwickshire lanes, derbyshire lanes and bridgnorth lanes.

If you want a days laning over the xmas period PM me, im not working until end of jan/feb. And im always up for a day out.

Im up for that, not taken the landy off road yet but it has just had loads of welding done and back on the road now. Im northampton based as well but need some easy lanes.

The only issue with Northamptonshire lanes are that they are seasonally closed between November and April due the clay sub base commonly found in Northamptonshire not being a great substance to drive one when wet.
Although I have noticed the damage is usually done by heavy farm vehicles.

If Northampton is out the Leicestershire is the next best thing. I'm slightly concerned about the 10mpg i'm getting from the V8 and would rather burn it laning than on motorways..
