I was,and this is one thing the club is discussing,keeping groups to the "recommended" 6 vehicles
And i think your being a bit harsh saying that we tore Soar y Mynydd up,what were we doing wrong?

- In the UK, thankfully.
This looks like a lot of fun but things like this can go pearshaped very quickly. You know the risks and nobody got hurt. Just take care.

You're right, that is well off-piste ...
Like a little off piste action?
as far as i see the guy is on a public highway, that appears to be open as there are no signs to the contray and drove through in textbook style, but because it dont sit right with some of you, you choose to become jackels with strength in numbers and have a pop at the guy,
yet a few weeks ago most peeps were contemplating driving through 5 foot flood waters to feed a couple of horses
thought it was mine!

why do most of us have landrovers??
Almost everyone i know has one as a toy, for off roading or green laning. So a local area has flooded?? so he jumped in his toy and went for a drive, so what, did he do anyone any harm or damage? did he force his mate to go with him? I think not. Why when some one posts something on here does everyone jump on the bandwagon and slate em??
What is the point in prepairing a vehicle to go through water and then drive arround? Cant see what the problem is unless in reality some peeps havent got landy or they have but its the family motor and the misses wont let them out to play in it?
The first thing i do when areas around me flood or get snowed over is jump in the 90 and drive out looking for people who may be stranded or in trouble, how would i be able to help if i wasnt sure i could get to them?
FFS if it doesnt fit with you it doesnt mak it wrong.

horses and pepole need help in times of flooding ,,so it would be worth while ,
just to do it as a laugh and post a vid of it ,as if we are bothered is daft,
all im trying to say is ,that maybe his efforts would be better used helping the locals ,at a time like this ,dont forget we are only a few days away from xmas and a lot of family homes are in ruins due to the floods ,
if you enjoy driveing in these conditions put it to good use !
that is all

as the guy already said, how do you know he aint in 4x4 response, or that he lived at the other end of that road,
all i see is people trying to put there will over someone else, there's danger all through life and if you want to dodge it all then stay in bed, but dont criticise others for trying otherwise we'ed still be thinking the earth is flat and the moon is made of cheese

I'm just having a little poke at bonkas and you know that
Seriously think that flowing water in a tunnel is risky, fun sure but risky. And yes I'd agree it was well driven other than maybe tad slow but bow waves in a tunnel are unpredictable.
My concern isn't for the motor stalling etc so long as there was help nearby for recovery but rather for a rapid change in water flow/levels which can easily be caused by any number of things......a landslide behind or a bank washing though ahead which could lead to a real life threatening situation and emergancy service response.
We all take risks but a situation like the tunnel has too many unknown variables to risk for a laugh....for my tastes anyway.
