November Groudn Camping + Beginner Laning
It's 38 days (hopefully) until D-Day. We've booked 10 days off at the start of November. The idea is the go ground camping somewhere and do some gentle greenlining that would be suitable for a complete beginner. Plus, she's going to be very shiny and I'm going to be very protective (still talking about the car) so something where I don't get it stuck, scratched or scraped on the first outing would be good. Embarassed

With this in mind I'd like some suggestions of routes / locations from you very knowledgeable lot. I'll be joining GLASS at Peterborough, if they're there, so I can look at their site. I was thinking Wales but happy to drive anywhere really. Alternatively, I suppose we could stay at home and do day trips laning through Derbyshire.

We did Strata Florida a few months ago, and it wasn't too difficult or scratchy (from memory). I could send you the route we did.

I live in the Peak District, so could send you a route which again is mainly easy, although with both routes I strongly suggest you go with someone who can tow you out should the need arise (November is very different weather to June/July - usually..!) so the tracks will be softer and Strata may have a lot more water in it. Its was virtually dry when we went.

Both routes are in Memory Map/GPX format.

Cheers

Simon

That would be fantastic thank you Bow down What programs / apps would I need to be able to see them? I suppose I will have to wait nearer the time to assess weather and conditions.

Have some time off at the beginning of October too so some in Derbyshire would be good, so I can test the waters as it were. Razz Defender 90 HT Corris Grey Puma 2.2TDCi

I'll send via PM the routes and a video of both routes so you can see what we encountered.

I use Memory Map to follow (and create) these routes.

Cheers
