h c o o M I barely ever go green laning at night, not because I’m scared of the dark, it’s that I’m usually sat on the couch at home with Muddy Madam and Lilly enjoying a bit of TV, and therefore can’t be bothered! However, last month I noticed a thread on the Northern Monkey’s Facebook page, it was from Tom asking if anyone fancied a trip over to Hawes to drive a small number of lanes around the area before it got pitch black. The main event would be to drive the lane at Stalling Busk before it's closed for winter repair. After topping up Deux Smurf with ESSO’s finest, I set off for the 2 hour drive to our rendezvous point at the White Lion Inn, in Cray, North Yorkshire.

Evening Wander Along with Tom and Rachel in Tom’s V8 Discovery 2, our group consisted of Craig in his V8 Discovery 1 and John, who’s incidentally the editor of the Discovery owners magazine, in his unmodified 3-Door Discovery 1, and of course yours truly in Deux Smurf. There had to be at least one person in the convoy with a sensible 4x4!
