summat like 20 miles west of here you fall into the Irish sea.

except of course on the EU's new map, in which we're all in the Irish sea
anyway:

We've got a SII disco and it does have traction control, which makes a
terrible noise when it engages. Due to the appalling roads in inner Sydney,
we find it comes on when we go over some of those big potholes - rather than
filling them, the councils should consider keeping whales in them!

A friend who has a similar interest has hundreds of acres of farmland and
has made a sort of purpose built course around his land - plenty of hills
and water - brilliant!! - but not much help to you sorry. In case you are
not aware of it - I've have been to Landcraft at Bala - also great fun, more
tuition than free roaming though. They are listed at the back of most
magazines.

whereabouts is your friend? We (sort-of LR club in south wales, based
online with smartgroups) used to go, some of us, sometimes, to Pontardawe
Off Road Club, but that seems to have folded.
