The vinyl has held up well. No tears or rips but it is marked a little here and there. Less than if it had been paint and obviously the paint underneath is protected! Interesting stuff this vinyl. Just gone over it with back to black bumper stuff and it looks great. Lesson learned with lane...

They were concerned that I gave away too much information about the lanes location and also said I was glorifying green laning - well a couple of guys did, a lot more enjoyed the film!. I can vaguely see the point of view although I personally think it's not that simple to do unless you know...

This is one of my favorite lanes in North Wales and I think one of the toughest. Not exactly technically tough but more because it's so tight and ever changing. I also love the way the terrain changes into 3 distinct sections over the course of the lane. I stumbled across it a year or so ago...

It was a good mix of stuff. Wait till you see the forest tracks we drove later on. That area was a good place to put your foot down and use a bit of power in a fairly safe area - or not as my demo showed!

I'm sure you've watched a load of my films showing us laning and off roading all very competently. Well in my case at least it isn't always quite like that!!! :( Bala Forest 4x4 Adventure Drive Land Rover Defender TDCi failing a climb - YouTube

Its all spitting and flem isn't it? ;)

lol. And in some ways you can see that getting there back up more can't you? :banana:

Because I make these films I go out of my way to be polite, almost no matter what. I don't want to be on the receiving end of bad press! It was just funny when he realised I had a good argument to see him latching on to the next nearest 'easy target' for them to give it him back as well.

He was funny really. I just loved the fact he got bored with my answers about green laning and started on the good old walkers!

Just a short video clip of a little run in I had with a North Wales local at the weekend. I had spent Saturday on an Adventure Drive in Bala on private land and then used some green lanes to get part way home, finishing at Glyn Ceiriog. I stopped to straighten my mirrors and sluice off my...

Doh! Crap. That's exactly the spot. Seems like CSI Northwich will have to wait! So I guess what I was seeing is the result of that but then after the storms where water had cut through the ruts. What a pair of arse holes!

Yeah because whilst I didn't post the footage from the day I do have it so we could see the after affects!

I'd like to track that down to see if it was the same place I was looking!

lol. Yeah I don't really know and it's only guess work but they were clean cut very deep ruts with no sign of a diff drag mark dragging or drops of oil and bits of rusting bodywork. I deduce it can't possibly have been a Land Rover!!!! Maybe I've missed my calling!

When we were in the area on Whitestones I noticed all the off piste damage up there that got the lane temporarily shut for a while (so I was told) Defies belief. But I have to say I took a good look and the ruts in the damage appeared very deep to me. Too deep to be from a 4x4. I'd suggest a...

Thanks for the feedback chaps. I made this one about 3 minutes longer than usual. Better or worse for that? Don't want to bore people to death but sometimes 6 minute video's don't let me squeeze in all the detail I'd like!

No not heard that but thanks for the heads up. I always thought it was out of the way there and there was no one too bother. I suspect its more to do with the access route to the lane which is a bit narrow

I don't like to speak for anyone else I lane with however as it's a past time I am obviously passionate about and I am keen to support any organisation or effort to maintain it. Both as a group and from the perspective of me personally making promo vid's, we tried to support the Peaks Park...

Having just got back from a Mid Wales trip I was chuffed to bits to find a Land Rover Monthly on my doorstep and to get a really nice mention in it. Because of that I decided to do something a little bit different with the film for this trip. As well as my usual film covering the best of the...

No it didn't. Believe it or not the lad in the D3 is quite precious about his motor so we took are time and all was fine.
