Off road recommendations

[deason]

Im moving to just outside the west of the New Forest.

Got any recommendations for a blast in my wanabee 4x4? (Q5).

Note its a chelsea tractor so it needs to be light tough yet good fun!

Stick to the roads through the New Forest,just be careful if you have to pull onto a grass verge though for oncoming traffic.

Tyres. Start with tyres.

Today I parked in a car park with a 45 degree grass bank at one end. For amusement I thought, with my family in the car I would drive up it when I parked. To my amazement, my Disco 3 made its way half way up without even batting an eyelid. Sadly, on the way back down I ripped the front number plate off. Point proved though, nobody does it better than Land Rover.

Personally I wouldn't take a Q5 off road, but if you insist:

Contact your local 4x4 club and ask them which green lanes have legal vehicular rights - if you drive on anything that hasn't it will end in tears and possibly a criminal prosecution. Just because it looks like a road does not mean you are allowed to drive on it.

When you've done the above, ask the club when their next trip is and can you tag along. NEVER GO ALONE.

Finally, remember that however mild the lane is, you will emerge with scratches and dents or worse as you have road tyres. As long as you are entirely happy with that, enjoy!
