Decided to take a 4 day trip to the Dales and Lake District

[ian505050]

Decided to take the dirt bike on a 4 day trip around the Dales and Lake District to explore some green lanes.

We picked up an old trailer for £70.00

It looks good from a distance but was hanging on to life.

Rain looked like it was going to make things messy, but it stayed dry.

Bike had not fallen off yet and trailer had not snapped in half.

We set up base at a camp site in Hawes

On our way to the next stop we realized turning round was difficult.

GoProage for river crossings

https://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii302/ian505050/ian505050%203/DSC02373_zpsb2535d2c.jpg

not so deep

https://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii302/ian505050/ian505050%203/DSC02375_zps1b4a9d22.jpg

Decided that this water was too deep to cross on a bike so we managed to hire a boat

https://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii302/ian505050/ian505050%203/IMAG3685_zps47c15d44.jpg

It went faster after a few tweaks.

https://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii302/ian505050/ian505050%203/IMAG3690_zpsbc43fa16.jpg

Now this was wide, but we managed to get across it.

The End

Looks brilliant, would love to do something like that, sadly lacking the suitable pulling vehicle, trailer and dirt bike currently
