Default Laning in the Lake District in England

Just four of us out this weekend and we decided to head for the Lakes. Everyone I asked seemed to have a bit of a downer on the Lakes because there is a fair bit of tarmac between lanes and a shed load of gates but I wanted to give it a go. I enjoyed the day but it was probably a bit tame compared to what we usually do and we were a bit disappointed to find a grumpy farmers wife blocking one lane and that Grizedale had been temporarily closed for repair just 2 days before and a day after I had last checked its status! Excuses were buying me no favours with the boys though!

Only one mishap when a Defender 90 in our group snapped its connecting rod on the high / low selector linkage but with some running repairs he forced it into high range and completed the day.

Most enjoyable adventure and video. I will never make it to Merry Olde Britain so I have to be content with great videos like yours. Pretty countryside and I love all the ancient rock fences and walls. Very nice Rovers. Thanks.

Thanks. You never know buddy. I've had a few guys from the states suggest they tag along with us if they can ever line a trip up. We'd be more than happy to show you around and I'm not precious about mine if someone fancies a drive!
