Series Breakdown - common on this lanePopular lane part of the wayfarers route, along the top of open countryside with excellent views, part moor, part uphill farmland. Plenty of water and in winter the mud, hence the name, great for "Mud Plugging" without the need for "Mud tyres" although you can get grounded out with smaller tyres in some of the ruts. Flat along the top it's west point start is @ SJ 147 31o: North @ SJ 173 323 which crosses a UCR and forms another lane (start point @ SJ 177 335 along side farm building). East route @ SJ 178 327 (difficult tight turn so not used much). Either way is suitable, not a damaging lane, but allow time for breakdowns as petrol engines suffer on this lane, and for photo shoots. Indians can be hostile, that is the trampers as popular with them, farmer ok with 4x4 as long as you keep to the track, but he does'nt like the bikes who tend not too.
As of dec 2006 I've been told the east end about 300 is now a Restricted Byeway (exRUPP) but groups are still using it, so a warning here the end might not be a ROW, of course you could start other end and turn round, well worth it.
