I've got a M Reg Disco Petol on Road tyres and standard (Old) Suspension.

Will there be any lanes I should not be trying on your planned route?

I have 2 x Shackles on the rear where the delivery points used to be, and a couple of round shackles on the front bumper, secured onto the Bullbar.

I have a steering guard but no Diff guards as yet.

We can always pull you through!!! Some of the lanes are tricky but like i say, we all have towing equipment, makes it more interesting!!! Better wait to see what hilux4x4 says.

More the merrier as far as I'm concerned.

Eddies right though some are a little tricky, when we last done em they were solid dry & very very scratchy......lol.

That last lane Ed where it just got narrower and narrower as the bushes came in.....! .

Violets lane could be ...well.....wet.

Sooooooo.... It's your call, We wont leave anyone behind .

I recovered off the bull bar once.I say once cos i didnt get the chance to do it again.Was well n truely stuck with kinsomlin, tied onto the bull bar and ripped the ****er off.Took out me indicator and left a nice sized dent in the bonnet too.Would recomend jate rings cos there cheap n easy to fit.And two spreads the load or use one front ojne back.Simples!

I've done a few muddy lanes last winter, as long as the ruts aint too deep and we keep moving the Disco usually ploughs on.

It can be prone to slipping into ditches though with no mud tyres, but usually gets pulled out ok.

Scratches to the paintwork are no issue either, it loooks pretty Matt after last winters escpades.

Will be good to get out if I can since my mates I went out with lat year dont have working Landy's this year.

Trouble with Saturdays though is my wife works and I have to do the running around for my 7 year old Daughter, dropping off and collecting from different classes.

I'll try my best to be there, if I can persuade my missus to arrange another mum to take my Daughter from 9.00 who goes to the same classes.

The rears are Jate rings I think, Big Square shape with a bolt through the top holding them to chassie.

The Fronts are the rounder ones, quite big and have been used a few times. If the mud is too deep, I simply wont go in. No point If I know I wont make i.

Another Question, Sorry

Does the route take you back towards Braintree? If so, I may do a couple of hours then nip off to pick up my daughter.
