Hi everyone, I'm new to the 4x4 forum so sorry if this is out of sorts, but I'm after a bit of advice for a pitch I'm putting together.

I want to make a video about the new Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure, probably using a defender. I'd like the video to have a pull, rather than just "offroading with a new tyre", so I was wondering if there was a particularly epic green lane or road in the north of our good country that I could drive to from London, highlighting the dual road / offroad nature of the tyre.

Europe is also an option, but I'm not sure on my desire to do a multiple day trip in a defender (I realise I'll get shot down for that). At least Inverness is "only" 9 hours.

Thank you in advance smile

You can drive right up until you fall off the top pretty much, John O'Groats is the official 'top' of Scotland but the furthest top of Scotland is Dunnett head IMO. Not much a challenge for an off roader though, you just drive up the B855.
I guess plan B smile

What IS a challenge in that part of the world? Something that's legal, and doable by a defender with 50/50 tyres, but not a breeze.

There is plenty opportunity for off road adventures up there, i could have the perfect setting for you that i'm happy to PM you if you want.

The only reason for the secrecy is my family have a house on the land that it starts. It includes river crossing, beach and loads of challenging green stuff, beautiful scenery as well. smile
