Laning in the Yorkshire Dales

Took the D5 out for it's debut laning trip today in the Yorkshire Dales.

It didn't miss a beat, all day comfort and tackled the steepest rockiest lane in the dales with no effort at all.

The only thing that went wrong was that I forgot to pack any coffee so had to make do with drinking water instead of nice hot fresh coffee.

Wonderful photos - especially that last one.

Seems your chums take slightly rougher motors along!

Started at Tebay, then over Barugh Bridge, down to Pendragon Castle, up the High Way to Hell Gill Bridge then down to Shaw Paddock. South to Hawes, up Beggermans close and back down Sleddale Pasture to Faw Head. Up Bands Lane then West Cam Road. Down High Cam Road, through the Marsett fords.
Up Bob Lane then finished in the dark over Stake Moss.

what tyres are you using? Any special preparation, was wondering about recovery points if needed. looks like you leave the tow point covers on.

Tyres are General Grabber AT3 255/55R20. I had extra underbody protection and sliders on my D4 but haven't added anything to the D5 yet.....still waiting for prospeed to develop them. However, the D5 has a bit more ground clearance than the D4 had so it didn't really need any extra protection.

The standard recovery points look plenty strong enough. All the lanes are rocky and I know them well so I wasn't expecting to do any recoveries (or be recovered) so I left the covers on - I'd have been able to get them off if needed.

Brilliant Jon, Thanks! just realised I hadnt replied to your comprehensive reply.
Were the D4 etc guys impressed?

Theres something special about offroading the D5 , just a feeling of serene capability, something I've not really experienced apart from Vogues etc.
