Our groups little adventure.

This had been booked for at least 2 months before and all of us was really looking forward to it. Our adventure started on the Wednesday 15th November, all of us met at our usual place and then made our way up the M5, here we are stopped at Michaels Wood services for a midway break................................

After the break we carried on to our digs for the next 2 nights

here we are the next morning at our digs near Oswestry waiting for the 6th vehicle to join us..........................................

Once the extra vehicle joined us, we all headed out for some lanes

this the first one, great view, but the weather this morning was drizzly and rainy.................................

Then after about a couple hours of lanes we stopped for a break to look at the views .......................................

Yes the front disco was the 6th vehicle

We had booked Tom of 4X4Adventures to take us around the lanes in North Wales and lower near Shrewsbury, these are some of the pics from the first day of lanes ....................................................

I did do it but as i was going across i couldn't take the pic's at the same time

Then onto some more lanes ...............

Yes i was the gate man for the 2 days

.....................................................................

Stopped again after another 2 hours .....................................

As the light was fading we did a few more ...................................

Then we did another 3 lanes in the dark

this was new to us as we have never done any lanes in the dark, but all was ok and totally different, but good and that was the end of day 1

Day 2 started of with a medium frost to deal with and then left for some more lanes

................................

Then we stopped for a lunch break

Then a few more lanes ..................................

Click image to enlarge

Then some more in the dark again and the 2nd pic was the last lane of the day and we said our good bye's to Tom............

Then we made our way to our digs for the night near Shrewsbury and this last pic was us leaving to come home back to Devon................................................

We all decided that having Tom to take us around the lanes was so relaxing and not having to worry about anything, i think we did around 12 lanes on the first day with about 10 lanes on the second day, well worth the money and Tom is a really nice guy to get on with

We all decided that we had an awesome time and will be doing it again sometime next year with all different lanes

Good write-up and many awesome lanes. Never had a tour guide before, but I can see the attraction.

The carwash was running well when you went through. If you actually went through...

jury is out...

Great pics, just more motivation to get my 110 out of the garage and into the countryside.

Although I always enjoyed the prep for green land weekends with trips to the council to check the definitive map etc.

Plus as I often organised I got to choose the pub for the stay over

We did the exact same about 3 weeks ago, 3 nights in a cottage in the Brecon beacons. Because we were there for 3 nights it allowed us to explore a bit more into the south of wales and do some lanes we haven't done before.

Great pics, looks like a good trip.

Nighttime Greenlaning is always fun - my annual night Greenlane trip has become very popular.
