something mild to start with

ScottyK · Jul 17, 2010

OK, little history first.
I have 'some' off road experience in MOD wolfs/110/90's (mostly desert & german plains/ hills)

I have a 2000 X reg disco 2 TD5 auto, I want to take it for a some gentle off roading, get some experience etc.
my 4 yr old loved it when I took the disco down a bit of muddy track near us (lots of puddles & bumps)

Where around Fleet/ bordon/ pirbright can I get some done? preferably with some sort of 'adult supervision'

do you guys use the training areas much?

I dont want to trash the disco, just have a bit of fun (and maybe practise some recovery techniques prior to winter coming)

It's a bit of a drive for you, but try Forest Four Wheel Drive;- Welcome to Forest 4 Wheel Drive.

Not too extreme, but as well as the "circuit" course the chap takes you around some of his fields, just like a spot of green laning.

Have a look here too;- Series 3 & 90-110 Owners Club // View topic - Off roading for the newbie. It's a bit of a review from my "newbie" point of view from my visit there last week.

If you like the look of your paintwork Its worth getting some sticky back plastic and covering your wings and doors if youre going to do any sort of laning near fleet/bordon etc. I scratched the hell out of my Defender doing some easy non damaging lanes, they polished out eventually but the stickyback would have saved lots of work. Trust me, the noise of branches scraping down your paintwork is like nails down a blackboard!
