Green laning in Sawtry, Peterborough

haha nice one rusty, hows the landy comin on then? where bouts the lane?, oh yeah happy christmas and new year to all.

I have not touched the landy, need to pull my finger out I guess (have been very busy though, will look at it in the new year). Lanes just outside Little Bytham.

Also Happy Christmas and all that

merry christmas and a happy new year!!

rusty i think you havent got this green lane thing quite right yet!

LOL why not!

Happy new year! hope you had a good xmas as well.
is anyone laning this weekend or next?

land rover is out of tax, will be selling it after i put a fresh mot on it, so i wont be laning for a little while..........

how come your selling mate?

because i want a 110 station wagon now!! it will be better for me missus and baby, she doesnt like going in the back its got something to do with it being cold, muddy, dark, uncomfortable or some such whinging
so my kind of sensible car (2.8 mercedes) until i have the funds

fair point mate, gotta keep the missus happy lol.
hows things any way?

How are people doing? Rebuilt the gearbox, that is back in and seems to work. Got a few more things to do but nothing major

Hi guys new to this thread but I am from the Peterborough area so would be very interested in laning in and around this area!

all good Rusty cheers, and welcome Dale to our thread.
I'm sure we'll plan a day out soon.

That would be cool, what do I need to get done to my Disco before I come laning with you guys?

I have already fitted General Grabber AT2 tyres, it's de egr'd and it's been remapped by Dynachip... other than that it is stock!

Thats good Kev

Dale...your standard Disco 2 is more than capable I would have thought

Yeah I know they are pretty good in standard form... what about recovery points etc... and what gear do you guys carry with you?

Recovery points...well yours isn't the sort of car you are going to be adding recovery points to, I am guessing. So as long as the standard ones are accessable I guess that is the least you can do? (don't quote me as other more experienced peeps might disagree!) Prepare to dig them out in the mud if you get stuck of course! In theory, you shouldn't be "breaking the surface" when green laning so *in theory* there is no reason why you should get stuck

Kit to take....decent rope, a few shackles, shovel. I also have waffle boards which many others also have. Set of basic tools doesn't go a miss, so when (if) something breaks you are self-sufficient . But again, I am not an experienced laner, so perhaps other people's advice would be a good idea (also check the other threads on here). I also take a set of spares, but that is probably overkill - that's only in there because I can't be bothered to take them out the back of the landie!

The recovery points seem cheap enough to buy, do I want to fit two front and two rear... it says they just bolt to the chassis... is it actually that easy?

Jai_Landrover fitted recovery points to Disco01's disco2. It wasn't straight forward, you might want to pm either of them.

I've PM'd him, so will get some on order so I can be ready to hit the lanes ASAP!

as Rusty said a basic tool kit is a good idea, pair of boots, shovel. things like that.
have you got a OS map yet?
