Hi,

Just got myself a 95 300 tdi discovery auto with A/T's, jackable sills and diff guard.

Have never been offroad before, and am looking for a tame(ish) greenlane trip. I'm open to a camp (rough camp under a basher will do me) - but don't fancy a lane chase or a long trip down to South wales (nothing personal) - just fancy a potter around North Wales.

Any 1 interested?
 
I would be interested, but I'd probably slow you lot down, and I'm only looking for somthing local to me to start with. Vehicle is relativly untested at the moment.
 
Thanks. I think I need to test the vehicle first, and get some experience - otherwise, you'd be dragging me out all the time..lol

Will deff' like to join you when I'm capable enough to keep up; but at the moment, I'm just looking to learn on some 'easy' lanes.
 
hi

cheers

Good luck on your first trip out, but hope you don't meet this bunch of T0ssers from England who are going around with the Pi** perscuting local lads who known the lanes for years. We meet them near Llangollen and the Pi** tried to give us a warning for been on part of a lane we knew was legal, it was them who did'nt know the correct right of way even the farmer who came along had to tell them to get off his land.

Liverpool Land Rover Owners Club Take Part In Operation Udder!
With Corwen Police (North Wales)
On Sunday 6th April 2008, 4 members of Liverpool Land Rover Owners Club, a GLASS affiliated club, and their vehicles took part in an operation with North Wales Police. The purpose of the operation was to catch the illegal users of the public rights of way (I.e. ‘green lanes’) in the Corwen area of North Wales and where appropriate, issue summonses and if necessary confiscate vehicles.
Taking part in this operation were county wardens, uniformed police officers, the force helicopter, marked police vehicles, mounted police units and Liverpool Land Rover Owners Club vehicles.
The police acknowledged that the majority of 4x4 users were responsible users of the public rights of way and that the main target was the illegal, un-taxed, un-insured, un-licensed motor cycles and of course any 4x4’s behaving badly.
At the morning briefing held at Corwen Police Station, each of the club vehicles were assigned a uniformed police officer and an area to patrol. We then set off to our designated areas with a uniformed police officer on board.
Later in the afternoon, we all returned to Corwen Police Station for debriefing.
We have all seen the damage to our country side caused by the small minority of irresponsible users and the bad publicity this gives us all. This is why we had no hesitation to help out with this police operation and will also continue to do so in the future.
Well done Liverpool Land Rover Owners Club!

Sounds like good fun to me! Sure they wouldn't have the police out if yer weren't all being bastids.
 
Er, can I jest point out the 'TOssers' you refer to have nothing to do with us T*O*S*S*E*Rs ...............................and whether you're in the right or the wrong, being argumentative or antagonistic when laning has as detrimental an effect on our image as straying from the right of way. ;)
