Just to let you know Wood Lane in Barston is now on a TRO, but hob lane and the ford are open.

There's also Heronfield way by the black boy on the Warwick rd and there is an unmarked UCR off oldwich lane in Chadwick End.

Unfortunately I'm not around this weekend as I'm away.

Chris.

Id forgotten the one by the black boy!!!

I know where that one is.

Thanks for that Chris

Thats another one on the list. Were going monday, not the weekend so if ur around come along. I was checking trailwise for TRO's and found a few but its saying wood lane is open, is the TRO a recent one? and is it permanent?

Of course ill take your word for it, and we wont drive it.

Thanks

Matt

So far fellas i have us starting in Fillongley(near kingsbury) heading down through barston, lapworth area and then onto the aston cantlow lanes there is the ford at packington but its only that, no lanes round there.

In total i count 14 lanes and 2 separate fords. most are long and there is a few small. if we get lots of rain over the weekend we may need to rethink some of them. hoping to check out a few on friday with storm.

Storm, will give you a ring tomorrow.

hope thats all ok? so far i think the people who want to come are:

4x4tom - + Alex???
Fesuvious
storm99?
big ginga beard - matt
Jason



Thanks

Matt

The TRO is a recent one and will probably end up as permanent (spoke to the RoW guy the other day to confirm the status as I'd heard it may be closed)

I'm away all week unfortunately otherwise I'd be out.

Chris

Right!

Hows about, meet at mine, and we'll do bacon sarnies and coffee / tea to start the day?

My pad is pretty damn perfectly placed for the run to Fillongley

Just a thought

Sounds good to me.

This is where 50 people say they want to come laning and you run out of ketchup!

I think meeting around the same time is a good idea so 0830 - 0900???

That ok?

Matt

8:30>9:00 is fine with me

Those that are coming, PM me, over the wekend and Il give you the postcode.

It is 1min from Solihull Hospital

Sounds good to me, and yeah alex will also be coming in the jeep.

Rains looking good aswell should make it abit more interesting!

I'll let you know sat evening/sunday whether i'll be coming, ordered the snorkel so just waiting for it to be delivered and going to waterproof as much as I can so dizzy out and seal the holes as advised. just hope the rain stays off on sat so i can sort things out

I think Id concentrate on ALL the plumbing for the air intake Jason.

Get all that properly sorted. The dizzy is last on the list mate, sort out the intake pipes and then just bladder the dizzy cap and plug leads with WD40 if time is of the issue.

Just got back from 2 lanes in fillongley and packington ford.

of the 2 lanes i have marked down in fillongley, 1 is decent enough. im sure after a bit more rain itll be interesting, the other is mainly hardcore rubble.

And nothing to report on the ford apart from on the 27th june warwickshire council will be meeting to discuss its closure. So were ok to drive it on monday, that will please tom. lol

Hoping to look at the barston and lapworth ones tomorrow, i think the aston canlow ones will almost be a given. we can walk them monday if need be.

Matt

Matt, my 90 wont be ready til tomorrow, they've buggered around trying to get bolts off instead of using a grinder...so i can't leave the house cos i need to collect it!!! Def on for monday though.

Just got back from barston, didnt bother with wood lane as thats obviously not do-able but i did look at hob lane and heronfield lane.

Heronfield lane is a good one, hope youve all got diff guards? lol didnt do the last bit as there was a van parke across the gate but hopefully that wont be there on monday. if it is you can still get out without turning round.

walked hob lane and it will be good with the forecast rain.

I researched the others on different forums etc and there all fairly well known so im sure they will be fine.


Am away for the weekend but will see you all monday,

Storm how is ur 90 getting on? are you going to be ok for monday?

Si can you send me your postcode and house number? will pm you just incase you dont read this.

Matt
