Good evening all

How long does it take the drive the Strata Florida lane? and in what conditions did you do it in?

neilly · Feb 13, 2019

Did iirc in March last Year, was not very wet, so the water was not to deep.

Not a lane to do by yourself.

Not sure on time , but we did quite a bit of laning that day so could nto have been that long.

Cheers

Done it loads of times. Takes about an hour as we stop to take pics etc. Done it in all weathers and in the dark. Nothing to challenge a Defender unless there has been really heavy rain. Then you have to be careful as people have died in the river crossings. Not one to do on your own

Are you doing it on your own? If so I'd do it on a weekend when there's plenty of others about. Also I'd do a route taking in other lanes as it's a long way to go just for one lane

I'd say over an hour unless you like travelling quickly. Did it on a nice day, although a little grey the other summer. But there had been a lot of rain, water crossing where very deep.

Worst thing is all the ****s who think they can drive everywhere and basically f*ck up the ground all round and next to the lane. We unfortunately came across such a group of muppets in Disco's doing just this. They really are total arseholes.

Certainly was, I've only been a couple of times since then

Cracking lane, only ever ridden it on m/cycle and had an eventful and deep river crossing on more than one occasion requiring a total drain of the engine/exhaust of water.

I'll have to be a gate wench for @callisr or @landy-lee as the mot has run out on the discovery and I don't know how well the streetka would do

Marmaduke · Mar 30, 2019

Well @landy-lee and @1988smithy you missed a lovely day in North Wales

Mr @callisr getting stuck

And Mr @callisr stood in a washout hole on one of the lanes.

And the only action shot I got of @danny6801

How much more have you got to do on it?

1988smithy · Mar 30, 2019

Looks awesome @Marmaduke once diff is done I'll be up for that

neilly · Mar 30, 2019

Did 4 days laning in North Wales the other week, was great.

Although Bastid lane has a really nasty drop off at the end.

Cheers

I know people who'd pay money to watch a D3 go up the one lane

As they would to see a @Hippo

callisr · Mar 30, 2019

Was an epic day! Can’t wait to see the GoPro footage!!

I still have the passenger side box section sill and boot floor side panel an wheel tub to weld in and work out exactly how I'm fixing my new boot floor down.

Couple of decent uninterrupted days should do it.
