Don't forget the old disco steel wheels - they are proper strong steels, not cheap pressed items like the old 8 spokes. If you can get a good set off ebay, or a dirt cheap rusty set and get them proffesionally restored and sprayed to a cloour of your choice, they are good bet. Have a decent...

Defo depends on the wheel offset. With the alloys I have the 30mm were not really enough - tyres (235's) still well within the wheel arches. But with steel wheels you get much more offset so 30mm's probably plenty.

How about the Truetrack mechanical LSD? Good price, automatic lock/unlock, sounds ideal for the non-extreme set? Available from Ashcrofts too?

A good example is the well named 'Green Lane' - Off the A515 just north of Newhaven - I always give it a go if I'm in the area:D I can't guarantee it's 100% legal - but plenty of people drive it and there's no apparent restriction.

Hi, The red dots you are talking about show there is a unspecified public right of way (Other route with public access). Quite often these are vehicular rights but you can only be sure if you check the local council definitive map. In the Peaks the black lines are usually the drystone walls...

Glad to see you boys had a great weekend. Shame we didn't meet but didn't get on the Strata until 1 o'clock but glad we made the trip. Longest lane I have done in one go - and luckily no issues. 90 made it fairly easy but you certainly need to be concentrating in places.:D Was glad the...

cheers Crazymac - Obviously should have to put my thick skin suit on last night. Thanks for the local knowledge, just what I needed to know.:)

Hi, Running on 235/85 BFG AT's. As long as I'm not going to bottom out I should be ok?

Cheers Funky Kipper All I wanted to know really is are there any real knarly nightmare bits on the standard Strata route that a unmoded 90 would have trouble with? assuming the rivers are at normal levels. From what i have seen it is mostly stone track, are there any bog holes to trap the...

I'm so pleased my first posts went so well. Think I'll stay at home on Saturday and do some gardening for my own and everybody elses safety, and then go back to a forum where I felt welcome.

During my research I had seen the info about the waymarkers. I was refering to the comments about not knowing where it is and getting lost - I can read a map was my point! Hopefully in the true spirit of adventure I will meet some friendly people out enjoying themselves and we can all...

Thats a bit harsh - who said I was a newbie and who said I don't know where it is??:mad: Having studied the U tube footage it looks like the lane isn't too difficult - dependant on prevailing water levels, which I would hopefully be sensible enough to check before diving in! I will also have...

Hi All, I should be on the Strata Florida on Saturday 12th, planning to go South to North. Currently a solo run with 2 of us in my unmodified (apart from AT's) 90. Not done it before but will be in the area so want to give it a go. Should I be risking it solo or do you advise against...
