A bit of advice please

Hello all from a bit of an old fa.... umm. fogey. Having just got hold of a modern Landy(well one with coil springs anyway) my better half would really like to do something other than drive on tarmac. I first got into green laning in the 1980s when I had the world's scabbiest Series 3, the appearance of which I cared less than a rat's ass about. Since then I've had quite a long break from things and own 2 Landys neither of which I'm inclined to trash. OK the Series 2a is going to have to go to make room for a proper off- roader one day but for now we are going to be going out in my prized 110 V8 CSW. I know how to read an OS map and I have Memorymap as well. My family come from Devizes are so I'd really like to go for a gentle "introduce the missus to it stroll" which will give ample opportunity to get the CSW dirty but won't do anything that takes longer than an hour or two to repair on Salisbury plain. Am I barking up the wrong tree here or is it worth studying the maps on this one and starting to plot and bash?
Any thoughts gratefully received
Cheers!

It's worthwhile joining something like GLASS that will give you access to Trailwise which is a comprehensive map of all you seek and as a member will also allow you to read comments by other members regarding severity and any obstacles you might find on the lane.

When you say a hour or two repairing are you considering going on your own?

Thanks for the advice... GLASS is on the "must do" list not least because they deserve the subs. Yes - for this particular query it is to be for our wedding anniversary and will be simple non - technical white roads which can safely be travelled solo.

I should add that when I say "an hour or two repairing" I mean that I'm not doing anything silly in my CSW... the worst damage I'd expect is scratches from hedgerows etc!

I set up a GLASS Facebook group for the Herefordshire area https://www.facebook.com/groups/1659079684327829/
And there is also one for Worcestershire https://www.facebook.com/groups/1089967167683504/

Someone on one of those should be able to help

Thanks, suew - that's really helpful! I have a bit of a reputation for recommending "nice country walks" to my wife which often end up knee deep in thick mud. I'm hoping not to repeat the mistake when it comes to the Land Rover
