Any 4x4 green laners/ pay as play people here?

[Gingerbread Man]

I'm hopefully getting a Defender soon for Winter and wondered if anyone else on here had a 4x4 that they use for off road fun?

Need to know the local green lanes and sites. Maybe a meet up once I've got my new toy!?

Sounds good as I know......nothing about driving off the black stuff.

[M3Charlie]

Excellent, well I'm in Winchester and there are some great places around. Check out the Shire Land Rover club, they host a load of Greenlane days and pay and plays sites. I will get a link up for you to a load of lanes too

Cool. I'll do you a deal then:

Tell me when you are heading out for a bash, save me a passenger seat and i'll be your guide for as long as you need me.

We have been to Slindon several times and Shoreham Cement Works a couple of times (my fave) just pay and play, very good fun.

I know the Cement works as I pass them when going to Newhaven ferry port and Brighton Speed Trials (I think that's when I have!) but I didn't know they did a 4x4 aspect. I'd be interested to look around the derelict site.

You're over in Chi aren't you?

[Jon TVR]

Charlie, didnt realise you were into your off roading...have you got a 4x4 toy...quite fancy giving it a go...

I used to be heavily into Landies and had a tricked up 90 for a good few years, I was a member of Shires and did some of the P&P sites, used to drive loads of the byways around Salisbury too, sadly thanks to the council, red socks and bobble hat brigade nearly all of Hampshires byways and RUPPs are gone!

This was my old bus! Started life as a 2.5 petrol until I gave it a 200Tdi transplant from a scrapped Discovery............




Sadly a very good friend and co-landie fanatic passed away at short notice and it just didn't seem the same after that.

I play with this when it's going...broken at the moment.

The 4x4 bit at Shoreham is bloody good, not sure how often they do it and it was a few years ago, and yup i'm in Chi not got a 4x4 myself though, used to go in a mates. Available for co-driver duties though

Paul

[Gingerbread Man]

It's bought. Haven't really seen it much as I've been working during the day so I'm on it and around it when it's dark.

I'll get some pictures up soon.

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

Nice work.

I have my Jeep but all my mates have sold their 4x4's now so I'm Billy no (off roading) mates

Well I'm in Winchester too, so make sure you let me know when you're going to play in the mud and I'll be there, ok?

Me and my weapon at Goodwood last month:

[danyeates]

I'd really like to get into off roading. I've done an offroad experience at Landrover but nothing serious. Keep considering getting a little cheap 4x4, but am put off by insuring, taxing and MOTing 3 cars

[Gingerbread Man]

Right, I now own a Defender 200Tdi. Been doing a few of the green lanes, a few in Churt, Frensham/ Devils Punch Bowl, Alton (Water Lane) and I'm on a pay as you play day tomorrow in Bordon.

Alton Lane seems to be the best around here.

Anyone know the routes in South East and fancy a day out?

Nice toy mate, only heard you'd got another set of wheels today, has this one got a heater?

Water Lane brings back a few memories, sent a group of runners down there one 'Summers' evening as part of a route I'd devised, got some grief when they all came back with wet feet

I've entered the luxury car market now my friend! (has that ever been said about a Defender!?)
It has a stereo, fitted roof, lockable doors, heater, a boot, room to move, 6, yes 6 seats.

I'm too pratical of late. It makes a good wagon to run people back from the pub in.

Polar opposites. A car designed primarily for off road, but does manage 70 mph on it if the roads long enough.
Then a car designed for the track, which only a nutter would use daily.

He needs to buy his own power washer tho, the road outside my house was covered in mud earlier today. I knew when the boys grew up I'd lose half my toolbox, but never envisaged my power washer being on the wish list.

What next I wonder?
