cheers!

will probably be in a couple months time
one of my brothers lives near Crook
but i am up in NE Scotland, so when i next visit him i hope to take the landcruiser round some of these lanes

according to Glass website
the

the "Slaley & Blanchland" Northumberland trails have a
Experimental TRO Information applied to it...

http://www.glass-uk.org/

is this the lane that the locals got irate about last year Scorpion?

doesnt look like its the main lane from slaley to blanchland

i just checked trailwise, and these TRO are on tracks around the Embley Fell area, and are shown as bridleways on my OS map and not - greenlanes!
so the TRO seems a bit pointless!

Hmmmm, I think the 'angry local' route was from Rookhope to Slaley Forest.

Very League Of Gentlemen, "These are local routes for local people!"

[andycook]

was it this one ?
with number 7 next to it?



or the one between blanchland and slaley forest

[Scorpion]

Oh yes, that's the one!

Beware of locals carrying cameras, or anyone playing a banjo!

(Cue the theme tune from Deliverance.)

Ah Rookhope! Where men are men and sheep run like hell. Did you know that many years ago a bunch of border reivers attempted to steal shep at Rookhope and the locals chased them into a valley nearby and slaughtered them all, the reivers not the sheep.Had some strange times around Rookhope I can tell you.

The track from Ireshopeburn over into Teesdale is passable most of the year it only gets closed with heavy snow. Me and the wife have a run over the tops quite regular, she enjoy's gettin out the truck to open the gates when the rain is comming down sideways Then I'll take her for a nice cuppa in Middleton or trat her to a pint of Cauldren Snout at the High Force Hotel, befor we go back over the tops again
