Moreton River Crossing Dorset

bri999 · Sep 3, 2010

First time greenlaning today so I took my Defender 90 along the track which crosses the ford on at Moreton in Dorset tonight. The water was less than a foot deep and I crossed without any problems.

I had checked all the diff breathers before going offroad but will i need to change the diff oil as they have been half under water ?

Sorry if this is a noob question but i have only been in the landy family for less than a month so far

Nice ford. Stopped off there on my way to cornwall last week. lots of picnicing families. The children cheered and the parents looked at me like i was the devil !

I nearly lost my 90 here, water was half way up the windscreen ON THE INSIDE, there are some deep hidden holes in this ford, it is fine if you just drive alongside the bridge !

might be a wise investment to fit a snorkel first though

As Buckshot said. That's a bit calmer than when we last did it.
