Not sure where that wrangler is "laning". Violents lane doesnt look too bad with all the rain weve had. How deep was it in the worst bits?

Can't believe violets isn't deeper than that after all this rain. Lovely pictures

Jeep was at Dunmow ford. Violets was top of bonnet at deepest but still fun.

Nice pics :0)
Thanks to the organisers for another good day out in the wild :0)

Had an excellent days laning yesterday, thanks for doing the route Mikey, was some very fun lanes in it. No one got stuck all day even with me sliding into a ditch that was deeper than it looked! Violets was good fun, could of prehaps enjoyed a bit more water in it but 4ft was enough to make me smile whilst driving through Only incident of the day was my alternator packed up on the way home, my headlights were terrible so it was another drive home with the spot lights on!

Heres a short video of Dunmow ford, was the only one I took all day

Bloody steps


Finally lost my step lol.


Otherwise all in tact (I'm sure the neighbours will moan about the clumps of mud.

looks like a good day was had by all, as others have said violets lane don't look that bad after all the rain we have had,

Joined up just to say that i saw you guys yesterday! You passed me on the byway from Broctons Farm to Hamperden End (lone walker with dog standing beside track, only appeared to be a 'bobbly hat', i'm actually not! There were only only 4 vehicles by then, including the TJ. Is he a local, or just visiting?

Do you often get out, and accept 'other vehicles' on your trips?

Just one of the lanes we did.

Nick, with it being a bigger land rover now - it needs more mud to get it as dirty!

Also, did you find those wheel nuts i left with you when we went to Wales? I need them to drive my Landy

Does anyone know if there is a catalogue for the Discovery, along the same lines as retroanaconda (Land Rover One Ten / Defender 110 Parts Book - Land Rover Technical Blog) has for the Defender?

Well I'm Land Rover-less once more. Defender should be at its new home in Canterbury by now.

did you get what you hoped for it.

I was happy with the money yes. Give me enough to get another Disco, a few bits for it and some spare change.

Took mine out today for its first drive since June, got about 500yds up the road and came home. Grinding noise from the rear, hoping its a wheel bearing but it could be the diff
