Hello I'm New!

Hello everyone!

I'm new here, My names Dave, and i live in Hertfordshire. Firstly i must admit i don't currently own a land rover however i have had a passion for them for years!

A Little bit more about me... Well i work in a theatre, doing live sound, lighting etc. Currently in Panto season (Oh No Im Not... just before anyone else says it!!!) I have a few interests, 1 being Photography, and the other (Quite Geeky...) I moderate on another forum, dedicated to Turbo Diesels!! TDOCUK.com to be precise!

I've recently got into greenlaning with a new work colleague who has a rather nice disco 1 300tdi. Just started finding lanes around hertfordshire and bedfordshire...

I'm sure ill find loads of info on here! looks like a great forum from what i've found so far!

Cheers All in advance!

Yeah have a look at this link...

Dealing with Off-Road Vehicles | News From the Pelhams | thePelhams - Brent Pelham, Furneux Pelham and Stocking Pelham

From digging i've done today it would appear people have been straying into fields etc...

That is the reason that a lot of places are closing lanes.
The Herts club im in they often go through violets, and the chaps that do the green lanes are good they will only stay on route. I think they have reported illigal offroaders before.

Yeah, its a shame some people ruin it for everyone else!
We actually turned back on one lane the other day, as it was too wet to drive it! no point in making ruts any deeper than they need to be!

Going back to violet's lane I always thought it was a public right but with a difference,
Check out the herts lik in my signature the do lanes on a regular basis good group of people
or the other local club is Herts beds and camb landrover owners club
thats if you into joining clubs

Just heard frommy mate they drove violets yesterday it is public right so should not be a problem if you stay on route and out of feilds,
quit deep just over bonnet of his Defender truck cablooking at the pics

Wicked cheers mate!

Is it a standard height defender??

Pretty much he is not into the lifting stuff just has decent tyres
just relooked at the picture and the water was just over bonnet at front with the bow wave sides was just below wheel arches.
that teach me to look at a pic too quick.
