hey mrs bucket you from round donny or south yorkshire, i've found the odd dirt track but am i as well looking on the ordanance survey maps
i'd be interested in something gentle andy as i have a p38 and you know how tempreMENTAL they are, need some experience and its not advisable to jump in feet first or alone!!!
don't want to go dipping the car in lakes or anything just a gentle off tarmac type of drive!! maybe get a more serious 'green laneable' vehicle if it's gonna be a regular jaunt!! don't mind donning the walking boots and checking a few lanes out on foot beforehand for a feww days to get an idea of potential tricky bits.
rangey has 94 ltrs of gas and 100ltrs of petrol capacity (i know this doesnt go far in low range) so should be fine for most trips fuel wise.
i'm in rotherham so not too far away.
if anyone has any refenence material on routes and thier difficulty it would be greatfully welcome.

I also know a few the other side of Doncaster, past Bawtry etc. Nice and gentle, with a few little bumpy bits, but could also be easily done in a Freelander. Trouble is they're far apart and most time is spent getting between them.
Mind, they're ideal for newbies to off-roading who don't want to get stuck or break anything, farm tracks mostly, with a couple of smaller sandy climbs and a bit of mud if it's not been persisting it down too much.

sounds like thats in my comfort zone!!! as a newbie i wouldnt want to have to call the aa to pull me out of a field!!! maybe take in the easy stuff to whet the apetite and the take some instruction on the harder routes(possibly in a more equiped vehicle if needed) and then maybe attempt them in the rangie!!!
I'd be up for it tomorrow morning (I have Archery at 2pm), but the lanes I know near Bawtry are only a few miles long, and I haven't driven them for maybe three years.
So, if anyone fancies an hour or two trundling round we could meet in Bawtry at say 10 am.
I'd suggest the pub carpark opposite Bawtry Motor Auctions?
I'll have a look on Memory map and see if I can find anymore, but they're a bit few and far between round here.
