| Violets Lane - Furneux Pelham |

Laning in Hertfordshire and Essex tomorrow in my D1 and we will be doing the longest ford in Britain - Violets Lane, Furneux Pelham.
One of the others who will be going sent me this UTube link and whilst watching it I thought to myself I recognise the D3 with the numberplate KN07MUD! click

Will do - I haven't done Violets Lane before but the last time our Group did it they fell foul of some wheel rims at the midway point .
Nicely shot video Steve

I esp love 2min 30 to 3min 10 "its probably a virus, you'll be right as rain in a few days and if you're playing sport try to favour the other leg"

May well give the Catherine Wheel a visit if we're nearby at lunchtime. Thanks for the recommendation. Will create it as a memory point on the sat nav anyway.
Violet Lane certainly looks as if it could be 'a rambler free zone' for much of the year!!
Cheers all.

Mine's screwed to a HD front bumper so hopefully will stay put but I'll mention it to the others.
Thanks for the advice

Superb vid
Now can that be done easily with side steps? Did you have snorkels or not?

No raised intake required. Wouldn't like to try it with steps on though. Bit of bramble rash gained at the southern end too. Black Betty Tunisia 1 2 3 Power by
