Turbocharger Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm not going to post locations because some of the lanes we drove won't stand heavy use, and posting on the internet is as good as advertising a free product. I'd recommend looking at the Peak District website for details of TROs too - several of the lanes I'd planned to drive are on their 'sensitive routes' list, and I don't think our days were any poorer for avoiding them. http://www.peakdistrict.org/index/looking-...cles-routes.htm If you want some pointers, drop me a PM.

TJ101 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 100 % John,, ^^^^^ With some homework, and following the information given in the sites listed on this thread, and a map !! its not difficult to sort a nice route I would like to thank the Peak district for letting us inject , what £2.5k between us, into their local economy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 any of you guys mind having your reg visible in any pics i post? No problems, we didn't do anything wrong so why not. Now get them posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well I discovered some slight damage today. I've flattened the front of the left side step. I thought it had been done here but looking at the picture the step still seems to be round. The steps are a compromise between height from the ground and Margaret being able to use them to get in. The getting in won. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have the same issue. My wife is 5'2" and can't really get in without the step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Mike - it was done on the tricky section on Stanage I think. I didn't notice any damage at the time, but it was sat pretty heavily on a rock Considering what was done over the weekend I don't think that's too bad. I've just ordered som tread plate, a bit of which will be ending up paited black and repairing the underside of my bumper B) Any idea what to stick aluminium and plastic together with (that will take outdoor abuse)? I'll be popping a few rivets in but would like to stick it on also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I didn't notice anything until this morning. Yes I did look.....Those steps are making good rocksliders. I'm a great believer in Araldite. The alli must be clean and the Araldite on immediately. Check the plastic will accept the Araldite. Get the slow setting stuff. Get it applied and use a hair drier on it for about half to an hour to get it to set. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 So did you guys all do the same lanes as each other? or did each group do a different set of lanes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticky Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 So did you guys all do the same lanes as each other? or did each group do a different set of lanes? We all split up and went our own seperate ways! Inevitably bumping into each other (gently on 1 occasion (M+S)) occasionally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Sticky, James Your humour kills me !!! Surely this is drifting OT a bit. This thread is about the laning in the Peaks. Not about belittling people on the net. We don't want to upset other users!!

GBMUD Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 That first picture is nice Sticky. I only took a few over the weekend: Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Nice pics there Chris. I don't recognise any of the pics as places where we went over the weekend. It's good to see that several convoys went out and still managed to do differing routes. And save overloading the lanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The 8 vehicle convoy we met coming the other way on the last lane (Roych clough - pictured with the rock steps) may have overloaded it. The first couple of pictures are from about 1km west of where we met you guys for lunch on Saturday. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Who got the picture from behind the Disco?? Is it really waving it's reas N/S wheel in the air or is the inside of the tyre up on a rock?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Who got the picture from behind the Disco?? Is it really waving it's reas N/S wheel in the air or is the inside of the tyre up on a rock?? No rock, the wheel is really in the air (look at the front N/S, you can see how far up that's tucked Nice shots Chris, don't recognise the lane in the first one?

SteveG Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 M&S, if you plan to take the D2 off road again, I wouldn't bother patching up the bumper. It will just get damaged again and potentially do more damage if your repair is more robust. On the D2 front bumper it's best to remove the lower front outer plastic trim on each side altogether. Mantec do a bash plate for the centre section. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
