North Yorks Moors Laning

All grown up now Rich and its been on the roids

Smoggy, still waiting for you to up to Shields .... the potholes are getting worse but It'snot not that wild up here

Yeah I know mate sorry. Big problems with engine power as I think its on its last legs - 40mph flat out and really struggling to keep out of 1st gear on anything steeper than a 1 in 10

Thats why I am keeping the laning close to home for now.

Are you sure I couldnt tempt you to this trip Mate. I just live at Gateshead and we could travel down together, last week it took about an hour to get there then we had a a great day and laughed all the way.

Crock, there are some challanging lanes up here but like most places one challanging lane is surrounded by average ones. There are also the Morpeth lanes with loads of river crossings In my experience if you want a challenge get to the Lakes but make sure you pick a day when passes are available and get them sorted early. If you fancy organising a trip I am up for it mate. I have nothing organiseed for up here at the moment and the only time I will be out before the 3rd is to get the tyres a bit muddy on Johns shiny Pajero (pasanger on our last trip) it will be very tame as he hasnt got past the horrer of his first scratch yet.

Gaz, Smoggy does not seem to have picked your post up yet but Im on this trip so if it comes off we could travel down together?

You dont fancy a local relaxed day out round Hexham on the 23rd do you? See the Newcastle thread.
