Colin's Drives in North Yorks Moors can't be any better or worse than any of the numerous other tour companies now using the NYMNP lanes, there are only a few lanes after all, most use the same circuit over and over again. That week alone there are at least two tours going on, probably more if I checked. How many of these tour companies take part in the upkeep of the lanes donating some of the profits they make to help keep our lanes open? I presume all of them or hope they do. All I hear recently is complaints, especially from the people of Glaisdale / Lealholm who live down a quiet lane that leads to Rakes common. Surely we should stay away from such lanes and use the more remote ones that aren't lined with houses.

I am somewhat surprised at your reply 
The drives Colin puts on are very well run and limit the number of vehicles each time. so as to not over run the lanes  He and his team also help repair the lanes given permission from the local council
It is difficult enough trying to find green lanes so I find the best option is to pay and to follow an orginised trip as opposed to driving around aimlessly, thereby avoiding any nuisance problems. Also, as I live in the local area as you do are you saying I should have to traval further afield to do a drive 
Finally, as you dont know where we are going why are you talking about specific places
If you aint interested in the drive and are only after complaining then please leave this thread alone.

Why
Never said he didn't, just stated he was no better or worse than any of the numerous firms in this line of work. As for repairs I've been using these lanes for nigh on 30 years and have never seen anyone other than the NYMNP or local estate repairing the lanes.
It's easy to find green lanes join the green lane association and use trailwise, don't forget to check with the local council that the lanes are still open. A
No can't see where I said that,
I know where you'll be going, same as everyone else. [/quote] Get back in you're box and stop being so angry all the time, I merely stated my opinion. Original Member Pie n Pea Club. 110 HCPU Tipper |

But look on the brightside, as a founder member of the pie n pea club, I give my word that if anyone wants or needs a guided tour off the NYM's greenlanes I will charge no more than a pint. I will also include a range of useless local wild life and hysterical sorry historical facts,

Here we go, off on a tangent when all I posted was 2 places on an orginised drive out
Are you out on the lanes all day and night checking who repairs them? If not then how do you know who repairs and who doesn't Just because you aint seen anyone does not mean they dont do it
If you have been using them for over 30 years should it not be you that gives them a rest
Any daft sod can find green lanes, that was not what I ment and you know it - all I was saying finding ones that are ok to use is difficult and as Colin puts the time and effort to run these events with the full co-operation of the local authorities checking times when they should/should not be used why waste my time
You dont even know where we are starting so how can you say where we will be going
I aint out of my box and can't be bothered to get out of it over this so please leave this thread alone - its not for a rant about over use or anything else - only to fill 2 places on an orginised drive  Gas, Grass Or Ass - Nobody Rides For Free

Stop it SonicD and leave that poor angry littleman alone, I was only offering to help out those less priviledged who after buying their very expensive Land Rovers where a little short on cash. Being Green lane Team Leader is my dream just look at the admiration, adoration and fiscal security I would attract, just think I'd be able too, like Colin, (who is very nice BTW) make Jasperoony man moist.

Ok you have had your fun - now please do as I have asked nicely and leave this thread alone to those that are wanting to take part - just cause you clearly can't afford the drive does not give you the right to try and mock those that can

My PM to you was not threatening at all - merly asking you to leave this thread alone, but just to be clear here it is and I quote;
"Ok, you have said enough now on the public forum to get me out of my box - suggest you like w  s keep your opinions to yourself.
If I was to get wet it would only be as a result of myself laughing at you.
Leave the thread alone." As you can see I even made a mistake in it as it should have read "w s like you" but hey ho I was never very good at typing.
If you do fancy coming to the start of the drive I will let you know where it is and please feel free to bring Ent Gas, Grass Or Ass - Nobody Rides For Free
