Hi Guys,

Just become the proud owner of a 1995 Discovery 300TDi and it is in fantastic condition for its age.

I would love to do some gentle greenlaning in and around the Warwickshire area and was wondering if there are any lanes or anyone that would be willing to show me the ropes, give me some advice etc.

I don't want to get involved with proper off-roading as it is going to be my daily driver as well

I look forward to hearing from you

Jason

Hi Jason,

Well done and welcome to the club. I live in Nuneaton and will happily show you some lanes around Warwickshire.
I have also got a 1995 Discovery 300tdi.

Not at all mate, more the merrier as long as you bring a rope.

funkykipper, that sounds a great idea.

But just to be clear, when I say gentle, I mean gentle.

2 reasons

1 - not done it before, although I have done a couple of off road courses
2 - do not want to damage my car in any way as it is my daily driver and i want to keep it in good condition lol

Look forward to something in the near future.

Jason

I have quite a few in Warwickshire, depending where everyone is located so we can decide on a suitable meeting place.

I'd have loved to tag along as well, unfortunately my mate's 110 is still broken and my series is nowhere near complete!

We have done most of the local fords before, and ended up greenlaning around Barston and got very stuck,
