| this lane you talk about is a very good lane and is well looked after it is also the highest green lane in the country i have done this lane once before and am doing this weekend hopefully, the 100" wheel base is to protect the lane it self as some hairpins in a wheelbase over 100 "s you would have to do a monouvre to get it round hairpin , will be doing it this time in a mk1 v6 paj , they only let you over in groups of 4 and you are marshalled and scrutinered in and off lane but its well worth it if you wanna do the most demanding and hardest in lane in the country |

Highest lane in the country - Yes
Either the most demanding or hardest Not a chance !!!

Mud tyres only so you don't wheel spin and cause damage, sounds like it's a sight for special scientific or something. 3.5 hours to get a convoy over - I know of lanes which take all day to do 1/4 mile.
100" only so you don't go forwards and backwards on corners and potentially cause damage.
Sounds like a beautiful run, but a pleasant days laning with a cup of tea to enjoy the view, not a full on winch frenzy lane from hell.
I've a feeling getting up Chaplegate took longer than this lane would from beginning to end?
Don't get me wrong though - would love to give it a go, just dont get it a little bit out of proportion though
