Saturday 31/3/18 with the clique 4x4
David Laverick
James Clark
Paul Long
And myself had a cracking day out meet at maccy dees for the usual breakfast start
Then off we went started at iveson what a state that's in. We then headed down back of derwentw*ter through slayley and over blanchland Common where we were caught up by a group of landies from Lancashire. We pulled. Over for 15mins to let them get ahead of us. Then off we went towards the H snow on the group discount and roads pretty slippy this is where I found out my 4wd had packed in. (now fixed) the 3 other trucks did the top of the H while I did the bottom we then went to grasshills just as you get to the top gate it went from gravel Road to 3 foot of snow in 10 meters. So we turned around and headed off to Alston for lunch. With me having no 4wd we headed down long cross easy going g down and has had work done to it especially on the top half bottom still rutted but not as bad. Then off to Whitfield over plenmiller common over the top of Haydon bridge towards fourstones. Heading for keepwick fell as David Laverick loves chollerford steps back home via Hexham and slayley forest all on all was a cracking day
