what just happened here?????
i wasn't trying to instigate some kind of civil war!!!
i think, to a small degree i was under a little illusion of what green laning actually was, as i thought it would be a better intro to off roading than one of the club days.
my real aim is to learn to drive off-road properly as a form of going form A to B (the kind i will be doing while shooting) with a capable yet tame 4x4 (compared to a lifted, big tyred, snorkeled, breast plated mud slinger) and was after some recommendations for what would be worthwhile to do without compromising the on road performance too much.
Once i get a few bits sorted, the ground dries out a little bit more and i can free up a bit of time i will try and get down to a pay and play type day and go from there...... after all, if i get bitten by the bug then i'll flog the disco, buy a 90 to modify and get a small hatchback for going to work in!
thanks all for the recommendations!!!!
