Hi Mike,
As you have an STD hippo, Welcome to the loonyzone.
You have a few choices.
Join GLASS and find you local greenlaning group.
Aslo, see it there is a group in the regional area in this site.
Or, you can really go to the darkside, and ask in the "freelander" section.
Oh, if you fancy a drive , come to LZ13.
Cheers
