Green-lane Envy and getting started!
Discussion
A mate of a mate has just started doing this with a 200Tdi Disco. I'm mainly envious of his snorkel and big offroad tyres, plus the fact that he only paid £800 for a car that will seemingly do the impossible.
Does he have it right that any vehicle with diff-locks can use public footpaths and bridleways? It was f
king hilarious bowling along an A road and then just bombing through a ditch into the woods 
If so, what vehicles can I do this in - obviously there are the land rovers, but what about the Japanese stuff that all seems so cheap at the moment? Thinking Shoguns, Troopers etc.
His car is a bit bare, but he does ford rivers and stuff with it - To my mind it would be better to just have good door seals
I mean, is it Land Rover or nothing if you want to get the big wheels, fancy suspension and snorkels?

You can't go down footpaths or bridlepaths in vehicles. You can go along byways though, I seem to recall you are from the Canterbury area, there's plenty of legal paths you can go down.
All the eco warriors and ramblers are trying to get it vehicle rights of way stopped so bombing down footpaths probably isn't the best of ideas in the great scheme of things.
Yeah I am, are you local then?All the eco warriors and ramblers are trying to get it vehicle rights of way stopped so bombing down footpaths probably isn't the best of ideas in the great scheme of things.
He might have said byways to be fair
I've just got into walking too, so it'll be a bit like playing poacher and gamekeeper!
Can anyone tell me about Grand Cherokees? Look like a nice balance between looking nice, comfy interior etc, and with a few mods could be quite beefy off road? Looks like you can get a corker for about £3000
Bumped into another greenlaner just now - happens to be a neighbour. He has a Disco, and said that bits were difficult to get for the jeeps. Don't mind getting stuff from the states
