Not to my knowledge, a lot of the Dorset lanes were publicised in LRO ages ago resulting in the inevitable hordes descending on the area from afar with no consideration for weather/ground conditions and trashing some of the more delicate lanes - which are now TRO'd......thanks guys!

I meant more covering the event ...charity wise etc , than the actual lanes , but now you've put it like that then fair enough ..

wlm, If it's of interest I have a 'shiny' 90 complete with driver (me). I could pick you up and if you give me your details I could put you on the insurance and share the driving.

ok update peeps.got home from work a bit earlier
removed timing case plug and loads of muddy water came out,transfer box drain plug removed that carefully but it was just thick ep90 in there,couldnt remove the gearbox wading plug as it was rounded off even trying to knock it round it wouldnt budge
got mrs to hold clutch down and pull on gearstick ,we had a disco in front of mine placed a scaffold pole between both bumpers and pushed mine back and eventually it released itself
got it started with a tug once started the radiator sprung its leak again so the radseal hasnt worked.
whilst idleing the gearbox is spilling out muddy water from somewhere near the top it runs down the side and drips from bottom so im assuming the gearbox is full of muddy water?
the brake pedal now seems to go really soft and u have to pump it a couple of times to get the brakes back
the gearstick and transfer box linkages need a bit more freeing up but they do work.
so jobs to do..
drain n change gearbox oil i presume?
fix leaky rad
both back hub seals may have gone as theres ep90 leaked out both sides but the axle may have taken on water and it forced out the ep90?
brakes could be master cylinder?pads are all brand new
so any thoughts guys n gals?..atleast it aint terminal as first thought so i need to fix it on a shoestring budget

cheers robin had a look it seems to be leaking from a vertical side seam,once water drops below that it stops leaking so i guess just keep plenty of water with me
