YIPPEE - RAIN !!!.
muddysteve:
no the smart car didnt attempt the ford but the lady who was driving was out rambling, but smiled and said hello.
the ford is near buckleburry on the river pang.
as far as doing a few lanes in the rain goes i left less damage than the gang of cyclists we came across, thats where the wide v thin tyre comes into its own

We have another member that appears to use the public highway as a playground.
If the lanes are that wet they shouldn't be driven.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about and as you can see from all the other replys to my post you are in the minority. All the lanes we have driven today have a hard rocky surface, all I meant was that there would be a bit more water in the 2 fords that we crossed.
In case you are blind you can see from my signature that I am the GLASS rep for West Yorkshire & The Dales so I am hardly likely to go tear-arsing around causing damage :roll: :roll: .
Another point is that you have violated the spirit of this forum by attacking another member without any thought :x :x :x

Isnt that a bit of a silly thing to be saying. Whilst i appreciate rain make pay and play more interesting, surely green lanes shouldnt be driven in such conditions as it leaves permenant damage and only serves to provide ammunition to the cause against us.
Your own signature reads that lanes should be treated wiht care and presumably as a member of Glass you respect their "code"?

The code does not say " Stay at home when it is raining", it says that lanes should be driven with care and consideration for the conditions prevalent at the time.

--- Quote from: "Boggert" ---Rain is a natural part of our environment and its going to happen if we like it or not. Green laning is not about ripping up the lane but driving it with care and respect what ever the conditions. So a bit of mud on a lane is going to be inevitable. I think we only had a couple of months this year where the ground was as solid a concrete, the rest of the time it going to be soft and muddy at some point.
Now I’m going out laning tomorrow morning just like Mark and many others and I like a puddle or two, I’ll drive to the conditions and follow the Green lane code as do all Green Lane members. Remember the roads are there to be driven what ever the conditions, as long as you drive them in the correct manner. :wink:

marjan, as stated earlier in this topic can be read in a certain way...

That certain way is that it can be understood as in you're happy about it having rained, because then that means mud, and that is the stereotypical behaviour of those who tear greenlanes up.
By no means am I saying that you did or did not do that. What I am saying is that the way it could be read can have people misunderstanding what you mean.
