Hi all,

Just got my 90 all up and ready to get muddy in a couple of weeks! My nephews love the truck and keep on about going for a mud ride in it. (ages 7 and 5) They are coming for dinner on Sunday afternoon so does anyone know anywhere near leatherhead where i could take them for a quick play on some slippy stuff with a few hills etc? any of the lanes near me allow for a little play? most i have seen are just tracks with trees down either side.. not challenging and just scratch a lot.

My bro might follow with his jeep so he may well get that muddy too..and of course its more sensible with 2.

Any ideas??

Cheers

Nick

i did find a website ( offroadtracks.co.uk ) that listed many tracks... but it has since ( in the last 30mins stopped working frown )

i have however managed to grab a load of lattitude, Longditude's from the page source file, which i shall list below.

the trouble is, i could not rescue the comments about each lane, which listed them as being easy , tricky, or extreame. and also noted what features you could find on it etc.

anyway heres what i managed to rescue.

Nice idea but they all seem to be in the peak district which is not to close to Leatherhead (Surrey)

All a bit too far, thanks for the last one though, 5 minutes from my house! Will check it out this weekend

Nick, I think there's a proper play area in Dorking. Check the "Diff Lock" forums, there are a few folks round your area who head round there regularly for a good covering of mud.
