Fusion, would love to organise something.. mind you though, wait till I get more pics of it on Saturday, I think I'll walk up it a little way so you can see the extent.
Rick.
Sure thing mate. Getting the rear shackle bushes done on Friday morning (bloody expensive mechanics, but realised I didn't have enough tools to do the job, or time).
Hoping Simon84 might just come up.. sent him a PM and replied to his thread in the GreenLane section of the forum pointing him at this thread.
Earlier sounds fine to me, about an 0900 - 0930 start time?

Forgot to mention that my neighbour might come along with his trail-bike as he wants to see some of the lanes...
Might have to convince him to go up Water Lane to take the pics for me
Should be a fun day anyway. I haven't confirmed that he's coming yet though, but I have told him and given the invitation.
Rick, if you've got the mini SD adapter thingo bring it along and I'll copy the vdo before u go back, could bring some of the vdo from last time and I'll copy it off as well. If u can't find you adapter don't worry cos I can do it thru my xda mini.

Yet another brilliant day out...
Discovered a couple of funky new places.. got some good video, and Rick even got slightly stuck... well actually Rick wasn't driving at the time, but his Fronty got a little stuck and got pushed off... It's all on the video.
I'll post the video and the links shortly.
We've decided that we need another couple of Fronties for next time, whether short or long wheel base it doesn't matter, but we want more!!
I will plan another all day journey and make it great.
Just a thought Rick, perhaps next time we might need to take a packed lunch, it'll save a lot of time running in to Alton and back.
Folks, keep your eyes open for the Hampshire 3 thread shortly, names can be put down for the next one.

No worries mate..

Left the blurred bit at the start of Vid 2 because it adds to the atmosphere of it, hahah.

Looks like you have some very interesting lanes local to you.
That last vid with the deep ruts / water looks like great fun

Video 4 we did'nt even test how deep the water was i just went for it!!!!
The middle bit would be my mate running away from the rather large bow wave coming toward him!!!!
That lane in its entirety was excellent and very wet thats the one Tristan got my fronty stuck in on a tree root!!! Freed with a bit of pushing and shoving but was great fun!!!!

Mat,
That one with the deep ruts was a new bit that I found on the OS maps last night and thought would be fun to try, and it was
I'll put up another vid of that one shortly..
The bit which shows the two Frontys driving past the camera (which was up on a hillside looking down (and starts off blurred)) is on what's called WATER LANE and we only did about 1/3 to 1/2 of it because the bottom part is NOT passable in the Frontera at my guess..
I've got some pics of that part (the little we walked) and I'll post them later.
