Kool. Have you had it long?
Do you go off rd at all?

Only had it a few weeks. Been on some gentle lanes around Wokingham last weekend which were OK for me as a beginner (and in a Freelander rather than a Discovery or Defender). Most of it was flat and just bumpy but there were a couple of patches of mud that I could have got wrong and a couple of fords that were deeper than they looked.

I might go up to Salisbury Plain at some point. It is criss-crossed with Byeways and I have done some miles up there on XT600 bikes. There are tons of YouTube videos of Salisbury Plain if you want to get a feel for that. It is mostly chalk so very slippery when wet and the ruts can be deep in places.

do not go on your own. keep an eye out for us in Basingstoke & surrounding area, the Guildford crew - and/or join DLRC.

Bandit..
ok that sounds kool. Just watched a few videos of Green lanning in Wokingham.
looks like a nice little drive. I dont do anything fast or extreme just like getting a bit of mud on the tyres. Did you go out with a few vehicles?
