A sudden laning outing.
By: cabbie Date: September 22, 2019, 3:02 am
---------------------------------------------------------
As it says, this was organised very suddenly otherwise I would
have asked if anyone wanted to tag along. As it happens only 3
are going, myself Series 3 109 Station wagon , a mate called
Gary Series 3 88" Pick Up and another mate in a fairly modern
Jeep, maybe a Wrangler. We are meeting at Holm on Spalding Moor
at 10.00 and will prob do about 6 or 7 lanes in the area but I
have a feeling that Gary wants to do Rudland Rigg again. Wish us
luck!!

Forgot to take camera and my phone is an old steam powered one
so sorry no pics, BUT AN AWFUL CONFESSION TO MAKE: Gary got
stuck and I pulled him out - ok that's fine but then I got stuck
and the Wrangler had to pull me out! Mitigating circumstances -
Gary was too far forward and teetering in between two great big
ruts and Richard in the jeep was in a good position to use his
winch. Neither Gary or me have one of those. It was a good day
out but I was surprised at how the lanes around the Yorkshire
Wolds have deteriorated. We didn't make it as far as York Moors
but we will be going again pretty soon.

There was a lot of teetering done by all three of us. A lot of
the ruts looked as if tractors had been down to their hubs. we
had to balance on the bits in between. Not much mud around,
mostly dry.
