Hi Ben, Normally Discos and Defenders - the AT tyres will help but there's usually nothing that bad - not been down to the north Essex lanes so can't be sure. The only one I know will be a problem is Violets lane which is ok for diesels but my 3.9 EFI doesn't like swimming so I won't be doing...

Hi CoilerBen, Some of us are looking to take a trip into north Essex next month if you're interested? cheers Darren

Great pics......great lanes.....assuming great company?

Excellent video!

Apparently some guy on Facebook doesn't think that the posts on the Treadlightly and GLASS websites are official enough for him and doesn't think that voluntary restraint is the way to go.....some people eh?

Yes, I guess it does.....

Disco 2 V8 - 4.5K repairs in 18 months then found out it had a block liner issue. Sold for spares and repairs - got the money back that I spent on repairs and lost the then 14k cost of purchase..... ......a lot of Disco 2 also suffer from terminal chassis rot....Avoid like the plague......

I had a Disco 2 V8 - complete nightmare. £4.5 k in repairs in 18 months then found out there was a liner problem. Earlier V8's in Disco 1's and Range Rover Classics more reliable but thirsty. Disco 2 also suffers from terminal chassis rot if you have one old enough.....

Ditto....

Usually 235/70 unless you have a suspension or body lift.....

Ditto, Joined back in September..... cheers Darren

Weld it up or build an IBEX if you want a galv chassis and body.....

Hi Viper, Not from your part of the world but recently when laning in Thetford with some people from the St Neots area. They mentioned that a lot of the lanes in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire are closed in winter (April -> October). Checking the TrailWise database tonight I can confirm that...

Hi Ozzie, I've got a 4 door but I didn't do it. Most people take about 15" out. You need to take it out of the side panels so that you still have the end of the panels that attach to the "goalpost" at the rear. CHeck out the workshop projects at Devon 4x4 - they did a 2 door but the principal...

Great video! That site looks fun but too far for me....Bures, Yarwell and Deveils Pits are my local sites....but this one looks like theres a lot of open space....

Use ViewRanger on the iPad - the 1:50K map prices aren't too expensive. Not having the rights maps and going off-piste is a big no no so - if you do you can loose your vehicle (same as no tax or insurance...) so the maps are a small price to pay for piece of mind.....

Cool, We'll have to come out your way sometime and have a look.... cheers Darren

Hi Didsdad, Will do. Is there much to do round Rendlesham Forest? cheers Darren

Kev, Looking at some of their pictures in Facebook it looks they MAY have been off-piste, but can't be sure.... I'm just very nervous of getting involved with "non-offical" clubs as there's no accountability there.....they also seem to have a habit of getting stuck..... I don't want to jump...
