LOL, yes, the videos on page 1 are some from the route we took. They were 'the worst', tight and more technical, the rest were just interesting with great views and scenery ... Just a nice drive with enough to keep you thinking about it ..
, ideally then keeping the costs to a min
to be honest, it got pretty "technical" so i just had to be careful and go for it. No sweat. Well... maybe a bit...Well... tucked up in our caravan in whitley bay now, it hammered down last night so we went over to the pub with the kids and played cards in front of the log fire over a few drinks. Fortunately, it dried up for packing up and leaving. @Magicgrotto we did go shopping and fed the kids (and us) then decided to explore the area, so went on a 'magical mystery tour'. We drove around and saw some pretty countryside with the help of google maps. We followed the map to a body of water shown as quite big but turned out to be a pond in a field! Anyway, the route back took us down an unmade road which then turned out to be a lane which matched the most challenging ones we did on saturday! It was obviously well used but i was very aware that we were on our own, so i was constantly taking note of escape routes if it looked too dodgy.
Anyway, big thanks to everyone who was there for making it a great weekend, especially @Paul D for organising it, @HiDeeHi and @johnnew for leading us almost... perfectly... @neilly for giving my disco the 'once over' with his nanocom, i could go on but i feel like i'm doing a bafta speech! Great weekend, great people. Look forward to the next one!

I take it you're not familiar with Derbyshire? Whilst March can be quite pleasant it is not unusual for temperatures to be well below freezing at night with 6'+ drifts blocking the roads. It's a very rare year when there isn't still snow hanging under the walls on the higher ground well into March, then the snow has only cleared because of the constant rain!
We've had a few good falls the last two years but only above 1200' feet or so and they've cleared quickly due to rain moving in, managed a few nights out playing in foot deep snow that was virtually gone by morning. There were a few spots under North facing walls where the snow was still hanging on into April this year on the very tops but you're right, nothing like a few years ago.
I remember the first Bakewell, it was my first laning weekend. Had the privilege of Paul D leading my group, been hooked on laning weekends ever since.
Looks like a good trip
I've seen that video a lot, and the **** storm it caused. Never dared ask where it is LOL. Any chance of a PM @DavidSally
