Ill guarantee anybody going on this trip will have a great time so get your names down, you won’t be disappointed!!!!!!
I got the chance to be out with both Smoggy and Crock last weekend and we had a right laugh.
Don’t be put off if your Jimnybob is a bit new, I bought my one new on 61 plate and have laned it from day one, that’s what they are made for.
As far as getting stuck is concerned don’t worry as Smoggys Monster is a one man recovery vehicle!!!!!! :laugh:

really want to try get out for this i'll see what i can do shift wise but it really looks unlikely :(

hastie i'd be willing to travel up northumberland way for another trip out if one was to be organised, is there any lanes such as the rigg etc a bit of a challenge?

i'd say it completely depends on the modifcation of your truck,

obviously a heavyily modified truck will find it easier, i myself currently run a near on standard truck and have never attempted to climb them only been down, its a steady climb nothing much then around 100yrds of rocks if climbing you stick to the left i cant see if being overly challenging for a lifted truck but the right side is more difficult, but i imagen there are much more challenging lanes around other parts, the lakes,peaks etc but for a local lane i'd say its probably one of the more challenging,
