Looking good so far...thats probably 4 in less than an hour....rick007 would probably be up for it as local to me here...so thats 5.
If we can get the numbers up I might be able to aquire a load of woodland for a long sunday afternoon...landscaped by the luftwaffe during the battle of britain...looking at £10 a motor payed direct to farmer...have had a right laugh there before in everything from serious 4x4's to my subaru justy4x4 (that I rolled there :oh yer: ) its a site thats also used for rtv trials, not huge but enough challanges for an afternoon.
Then maybe a pint or some grub at a nearby pub?

I think know the lane your talking about. I believe it now has a TRO on it for maintance, until end June
The last time I tried it there was a huge puddle :!: which no one dared go through as we all had petrol engines and no snorkels. Looked to be a good few feet deep. I tend to stick to drier routes as I knackered an engine once going through a light flood :lol:
