Cumbria Classic Landrovers

What a night. It seemed like a winters night when we set off from the car park. Due to the conditions we decided to go straight to Breast high lane and if time permitted do the minor lanes on the return leg. Got down to the lane and all went well. Water in the ford was only about a foot deep. Most saw a trail bike do a somersault about 300 yards ahead of us. We got up to help him but he was OK and got on his way. The big left hander was very loose and greasy. I took a couple of runs at it ( must remember to engage diff lock !!) Then everyone followed. Traction control on the td5 made it look a breeze. V8 88 made a lovely rumble. Descent went well. Longer vehicles took a couple of shunts to get through the narrow gateway. One of the concrete Gulley's was badly washed out on the downside. We did a bit of backfilling to leave it in a better state than we started - and to make the return easier. When we got to the bottom we decided to call it a day - the weather, falling light and minor mechanical on the 88 made the decision to get back to the beehive an easy one. Jack got some top footage of the evening - hopefully someone technical can set up a link to it.
