Well I think I will have to put out a invitation to everyone who would like to come a join me:

2nd August 2008

10:30 Meet at Stanhope market place

From there we will be traveling down weardale to Wearhead... then a drive over a fairly long but easy going green lane to B6277 near Langdon Beck... from there on to Sleset reservoir for dinner... after that we will be driving through weardale (the sceanic route) to Alston... then to Rookhope from there another easy going green lane to Slaley Hall...

Anyone interested e-mail me to let me know...

I have pasted this from the General Forum section to see if we can get a few others interested. We don't seem to have any gatherings here in the North East and it looks like this would be a great day out. Please add your name if you can make it.

A big thank you to NE Surf for suggesting a day out and what seems like a great route.

There has to be more people than this... there are hundreds of people in land rovers meeting up every weekend going green laning all over the country... all you have to do is give up half a day for a bit of fun, a bit of crack, and genarally a guarenteed good time... the routes planed are nice long sceanic routes across some of the north east's best country side and are suited to anyones ability even purely road cars...

Come on you lot get signed up and get yourselves along for a great day!

I am still going...

Did 2 of the green lanes last weekend just to check that they weren't washed out after all this rain... everything seemed ok... some nice puddles!

I will definitely be there mate, I'm really looking forward to it. I would email you my mobile number to make some arrangements but I'm not able to as you're not a paying member (no nasty dig intended by the way). If possible could you email me at scorpion-gb@hotmail.co.uk please with a contact number.

Cheers. Jim.

Nice one! If everyone turns up we'll have a grand total of 5! Still not bad for a first attempt.

I'm gonna try and make that up to 6Mrs Spoggle has even said she will come along and ensure I behave. Nice pint of Guinness at the Rookhope InnPrice of derv comming down, so why not. But 6 Surfs at Stanhope Market place at 10.30 on a Saturday, could be a bit tight. Always the Dales Centre car park over the road. Wonder if the ford is open again? Or has anyone been through the ford at Westgate?

I think everyone is right about the market place being busy... Just been thinking about where else to meet, I cant really think of anywhere, I guess that if I get there early and park my surf up outside the CB radio shop in the market place then people can find some parking either in the market place or the dales centre and just walk over to my car to have a bit crack before we all set off...

My surf is Gray, reg. J32 NPR

My name is Andy by the way...

If anyone wants a contact number drop me an e-mail on bmwboy320@yahoo.com

Just for the info of anyone attending on Saturday. If you should happen to see any German troops around or hear any loud bangs dont worry, Durham hasnt been invaded. Its just the lads at Weardale Railway having a 'War on the line' weekend, they do that sort of thing a lot around here. Remember the Virgin Railway ad with the red indians. Well that was made at Eastgate on the Weardale line.
