Between Preston and Chorley. Fordy 103 is near Kirkham, he's a member here.

I keep meaning to organise a peak district green lane day, just a bit stuck at the moment time wise but I'll let you know when I put up the post if you fancy it

and what there those damn bikes doing going the wrong way up gatesgarth?!

Bikes can go there AND back on one permit. So as they now only allow starting from the northern end they were on their way back in the video.

If you are strapped for time, let me know if you fancy a Lancs afternoon out sometime.

Ah ok. I'm so used to seeing bikes either off the main track, or going the wrong way when there is either a voluntary or one way TRO that i m afraid I assume these days theyre in the wrong.

I'd love a lancs afternoon out but not many lanes to get a decent route really. We're going up to the lakes on sat but the trip is full i m afraid. I recognise all your lane shots on flickr, some nice ones there

That's the bomb hole on Strata Florida in Wales.

There aren't many in Lancs - but a trip to Beacon Fell (where they do really good soup) and over the back into Dunsop Bridge makes a nice drive out. Not to mention that they do really good soup in Beacon Fell.

So you're going west to east - I was thinking of working up from south to north - though there is a voluntary restraint on Tilberthwaite until the end of the month.

By the way - did I mention that they do really good soup in Beacon Fell?

Mike

I'll pm you my contact details. I'll also look out for Fordy 103 - if he's near Kirkham he might be right round the corner.

You don't fancy doing it yourself? I'd be happy to help. It's pretty straight forward and very satisfying..
