Guess this lane................


No doubt one of the oracles of laning will get it right - but see if you recognise this lane (from today)

 

 

Answers on a postcard.

If you fail I may give clues...............

That was my second guess, to which Mark hasnt replied (via Facebook) My first was that white road near Newton Ferris, the one discussed at a semi recent club meet that that Motoring Club didnt want to challenge. Mark said i was about 20miles out with that guess!

I know he did tally ho yesterday and it looks like the bottom section near what is normally the small bottom stream crossing

I'll let you know later when I get home. But it's definitely not the bottom of tally ho.

Looks too straight to be Tallyho.
I think it is more likely to be 202-326 which has been known to flood.

What do I win?

And why can I only see the top half of the photo?

I have seen it deeper than that, but only once about a decade ago, the only other time I have seen it flood.
I refused to go first and only followed once someone else had made it through, with water up to the petrol tank. Love the smell of wild garlic there in the spring, and the BMX jumps have added an interesting feature in recent years.

Marvelous bit of sleuthing Pete.

I had already posted my guess when I realised that I could probably confirm it by trawling through the Petecam archive, so I took a video snap shot from as close to the spot as I could from the first one of the eighteen clips I found there filmed in that end of Bittams lane.

I knew it would be Pete that got it...well done. What do you win? Well you maintain your lane knowledge excellence award - and that's priceless

It did look very deep when we got there, but Dave (KatoomDave on here, recent TRF member with a nice Freeride 350) waded the whole length first to make sure we werent going to lose our bikes!! He'd previously not done this on -192 and the water reached the underside of his bars - requiring transport home and a careful and succesful recovery of a drowned engine.

Wading is a good idea and I have done it on numerous occasions before venturing in, in the absence of a keen volunteer.
