GBMUD Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'll have my inverter in the car. I'll not be using it on the day. Best someone bring an extension lead then. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Mo - no probs Sticky - yes, there's still a couple of places left for camping so Chris can add you to the list at the beginning of this topic. I'll PM all the campers with directions nearer the time. 1 space in my group left Miniturbo has dropped out because he's got two things I haven't* so I've got one space in my group left. We're a Ninety on MTs, a Ninety on ATs and a 110CSW on road tyres, so won't be attempting anything sillier than Stanage, aiming for scratches rather than dents. Any takers? * mechanical sympathy and a desire to see his girlfriend for the weekend Thanks Turbo charger! If the weather is dire we may go for a late room option, but keep us on the camping list ! ta! sticky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Sticky, all are welcome. As for groups, we may need to have a think on numbers as SimonR says he wants to go too...Chris OK! Well we still have plenty of time to sort, will wait patiently to see what develops... cheers, sticky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hi Unfortunately looks like I'm not going to be able to make it, Car isn't going to get an MOT in time and We can't really justify spending the money at the moment... Have fun though! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Mike - a shame, we'll have to see who else drops out. We'll send photos Chris W - could you take Mike244434343545689793214572334444 off the camping list and add Sticky, so I know who to PM with camping details.

Pete Attryde Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Just to confirm as Mike has dropped out, I and SWMBO will still be attending and will be camping, but it will only be saturday night not both nights. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlykepower Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Have just been offered 2 tickets to Twickenham for SA v England that weekend Am actually quite jealous now! As SA v England is one of the great rugby showdowns in my book, you are excused! If I had tickets to tickets to this match, I would be dropping out too. My geld op die Bokke te wen.

Martin Hi all, I know I'm new to the forum but is there still room in Johns group for a Disco2 on road tyres? We would be coming down from Durham (close to Mike and Margret) and like Mike, we don't mind a few scratches. I always hope not to get any damage when driving off-road though, so don't drive like a madman I've done a fair bit of laning in the past with a Freelander and recently did the Langdale Quest in the D2 without any problems (just to give you an idea of my experience). Which OS map are you using? We might already have one. We would probably end up camping on the Saturday night. Cheers, Martin & Stephanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 So now it won't be any greenlaning trip it'll be an M&S greenlaning trip Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Well, my group isn't just a laning group. It's a sumptuous mix of hand-picked rocks and trees, skilfully blended together with the finest horizontal rain and served at just slightly above freezing temperature for the most piquant sting on your skin. Seriously, we're already up to four in the group but we are starting on the north side of the Peaks so I'll play it as follows: you're welcome to join us but I'd be more comfortable if Sticky or Retroanaconda would be willing to join another group out of Ashbourne on Saturday morning. If not, a group of five won't kill us but it's not ideal. There's still space for a couple more campers so no problem there. At the moment the forecast is for clear cold weather (but that's still 7 days away, anything could change from then to now...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 In fact reviewing my finances I don't think I can stretch to the diesel required for an excursion out that way I'm afraid. Consider yourself back to four Mr Turbocharger. Hope everyone has a good time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well that's not what I was expecting! Get yourself down to Ashbourne, there's never enough money no matter what you do with it so you might as well spend it... However, I'll accept your withdrawal from my group with good grace - thanks.

M&S Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Well we are glad that we can come along, although we hope it's not at the expense of others or making things too crowded. If you can add one more to the camping list for Saturday night then that would be great. We shall bring the winter bags Looking forward to seeing everyone. We have the OS map for that area also as we have done a fair bit of walking there in the past. Cheers, Martin & Stephanie This isn't just any 4x4.

Pete Attryde Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Having checked my tent yesterday I have discovered it was damaged in the last house move and is not useable. So we won't be camping, which i'm not sure is a bad thing with the way the weather has been. However as we only live just over an hour away we will meet you in the hotel carpark saturday morning at about 8:30. and then trundle home in the evening after a bit of socialising and return Sunday morning for round 2. Chris can you take myself and SWMBO off the camping list please. I have PM'd Turbo to let him know. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome along Dan, hopefully groups will be sorted for saturday morning. I imagine that most groups will be leaving the car park at round about 9am. Keep an eye on the gangs thread.
