Kool. Have you had it long?
Do you go off rd at all?
Only had it a few weeks. Been on some gentle lanes around Wokingham last weekend which were OK for me as a beginner (and in a Freelander rather than a Discovery or Defender). Most of it was flat and just bumpy but there were a couple of patches of mud that I could have got wrong and a couple of fords that were deeper than they looked.
I might go up to Salisbury Plain at some point. It is criss-crossed with Byeways and I have done some miles up there on XT600 bikes. There are tons of YouTube videos of Salisbury Plain if you want to get a feel for that. It is mostly chalk so very slippery when wet and the ruts can be deep in places.

Bandit..
ok that sounds kool. Just watched a few videos of Green lanning in Wokingham.
looks like a nice little drive. I dont do anything fast or extreme just like getting a bit of mud on the tyres. Did you go out with a few vehicles?
