Peak District Lanes 20th Jan was created by sniper
A good day out with Kev, Adam and Edd in the Peak District, not many photo's... Too busy driving......
The war graves site was a surprise, I can't remember where on the route it was but it was at the back of a very quiet village. I have a huge interest in them so I will be visiting that lane again soon.
We nearly lost a Landrover Discovery, near Chatsworth, crossing a sloped grassy field. The back end slipped away on Edd and took the car off the track and it was slipping with no control. Not a good angle either and it was a long way down...... Edd steered into the slide and drove gently out of it, a good piece of driving.......
I was next across and my bottom was twitching, Kev had made it at a struggle on mud tyres in a jimny, Edd lost it in a Disco but with AT tyres and I was on AT's as well. 1st low at a crawl and it was still a difficult drive having seen what happened to the car ahead of me.
Adam was following me in a Vitara and I think the bad experience of the discovery and then watching my very gentle crawl put the wind up him.... it was a very cautious drive but with no more drama.
Thanks to all who attended and thanks to Brett for organising another good day out........
Missed you jack.....
