Hi everyone!
I just registered to this forum.
Yes, you might kick me out in a minute. I'm from Germany and I drive a Hilux.
But then again, don't we all have the same interests, no matter what car we drive?!?
I'm planing on heading over to the UK at the end of April. Maybe even head to the Overland Show. Don't quite know if it's worth it.
The actual reason I registered was to find people who might show me a bit of greenlaning. Don't know too much about it. Different countries different rules.
So feel free to write!

Welcome.Have a look around the forums and get a feel for the place. If you love green oval then great, no matter what you drive

Many of us have more than one vehicle, it's almost mandatory with the marque. So you may find others with a hilux , or similar.
Be aware, banter is rife, don't take it personally and you will survive and possibly thrive

Thanks!

Have you been to the Adventure Overland Show in Stratford upon Avon? Is it worth going?

Hicap phill · Apr 9, 2018

not been to this show. But depending on port you arrive there are some nice lanes on the way to Stratford

Hilux81 · Apr 9, 2018

I'll be arriving in Dover. Main destination are the Badminton Horse Trials.

Hicap phill · Apr 9, 2018

Are you up for the 3 days for badminton or just for cross country?

Plenty of greenlanes to drive near that area.
Some are tight & scratch paintwork others are open & have nice views.
Here's a few photos.

Hilux81 · Apr 9, 2018

Looks great. But how do you find them?

I'll be staying in Badminton from tuesday to monday. Wanna see it all considering I have quite a few kms to get there.

God no stick with the Hilux!

Hicap phill · Apr 9, 2018

You won't be far from me.
I can take you out for a day trip if you want?
I can show you a few lanes & where to go.

You really do need to get a new camera that doesn't have a cracked lens

Hicap phill · Apr 9, 2018

@Shimsteriom
iPhone. Can't see the chip.
It also like copyright I can tell if some one has nicked my pics

Are you onto the haribo yet?

Shimsteriom · Apr 9, 2018

Yep, the Fiery Chilli Pringles seemed to just dissapear as soon as the lid was removed, and the Maoams are almost half gone. I'll have to try and pace myself, otherwise the Jelly Babies are gonna be gone by 3.

Hicap phill · Apr 9, 2018

You need to find maoams pin balls for a better sugar rush.

I've learned my lesson...drove a defender for 10 years. Had the best time but no money.

Sounds great. I'll take you up on that offer!

Hicap phill · Apr 9, 2018

When you know your plans drop me a message. How many are in your group?
Always up for a sightseeing & green lane day. May find some other who want an outing

Have look at the link for some areas I drive/ride
