Would love to hear from some other locals as I'll be needing some pointers re. where is good to go laning round here and some buddys to help pull me out of the sh*t when I get stuck or things break! It is a Landrover after all!

Landy1uk:
Hello and Welcome
nice list there

Stinky:
Thanks for the welcome Landy1uk  :smiley:

I actually bought Stinky over 2 years ago with the intention adding a few choice bits and playing in the mud......... taken me this long to get my finger out and start sorting things out  :embarrassed:

Should be a nice toy when i'm done though :wink:

lambert:
Hello and welcome.

Just a quick word to the wise, playing in the mud is an activity reserved for places like parkwood/tong or your own private land. Driving on lanes is a gentle pastime that involves not doing any damage at all to the surroundings. The two are very separate and must be considered as such.

I'm not trying to be preachy just helping avoid problems down the line.

Nice disco when you've done.

Stinky:
Thanks for the welcome Lambert :smiley:

I've had a good read through the 'greenlaning code of conduct' sticky and certainly have a great deal of respect for the countryside that surrounds where I live. I understand that laning is a whole lot more gentle than the likes of parkwood or Toms farm but that's exactly what I need for my first few trips out. I've heard a lot of folk jump straight into the technical stuff and kill their trucks 1st time out :sad:

Other than 2 or 3 landrover experience days I have no off road experience whatsoever so gentle laning is exactly what I need. I do have mechanical sympathy and my business partner is a qualified off road instructor (over in liverpool and currently without truck) so I'd like to think i'm starting from a good vantage point :wink:

Anyway, thanks for the welcome and rest assured I won't be abusing the lanes and spoiling it for the rest :smiley:
