Green Laning

My first four wheel drive car was a Suburu.

Until the bridge is repaired on the road between us and the village, we either have to go off road - and we definitely need a 4 x 4 - or face a long diversion.

Sorry - Off Topic (not doing as a hobby!)

Write your comments here... So you have found the advantage of having to buy one! Lol

some lanes have spectacular views, many way too far to just walk too!

We've had 5 Subarus over the years, Malc. The current one is a Forester. Proper, full time 4WD - can't beat it.

We've always had some sort of Land Rover. Currently a Defender and Discovery.

Yes, but not so good for the weekly shop, a night out or going to school

Since 1998 I have always used 3 litre 4x4s . In the following order 1xShogun, 4 X Toyota Landcruisers and the Current Merc ML300CDI.  All have been entirely reliable. The Landcruisers were by far the best until Toyota spoilt the engine by leaning it out too much to get under the carbon limits.

Have no problem with responsible green laning BUT wish that the participants would clean off the vehicles before using and parking on public roads!

TF

It isn't always possible to clean off straight away TF, unfortunately. Organised events usually offer a wash service, which sometimes goes partly to Charity, but a lot of car wash places are somewhat reluctant, understandably, to have someone completely wash down a very heavily muddied car. We take ours home and do it there, so we can clean up after! 

Is the floating bridge lane a lane with large stone blocks in teh middle that aren't wide enough for a 4x4? If I think it's technically open to traffic but impassable by anything bigger than a bike. 

I organise work days which include making things really difficult to go off piste and opening up lanes to let the light in, all worth while stuff and it gives us a good name with the Local Authorities. 

I've only just joined here but if there is interest I coudl do a weekender in Llangollen for anyone who want's to try it out. Will see how things go for a while first though!
