good site & good instructors so glad I went cos the advice was very good & invaluable for offroading at clog! I will return up there again!

Yeh don't think he'd seen a Troll on it before either. Teeter totters were early on to check the clearance, he had the door open checking for scraping sidesteps... don't think he was expecting me to just go "Ach, better them than my sills!" and drive to the next one

Can't wait to go there again ... You're welcome to come along for a turn in the Troll once I do get my membership btw

nice one rob sounds like your really getting the bug.
me too.I haven't done much to it (is it a he or a she? not decided yet).
A few bits today moving the number plate to the back door for better departure.
With the floods we get around here the next thing is a snorkel and daylight headlights for winter.
as for trips away got id love meet up with fez again and do wales he was a brilliant guide.
Im hoping to get away over winter for a week at some point. Im not sure if it will be before or after xmas and not sure where were going
We have always wanted a cottage in scottland wit ha big log fire in winter.
If we come your way it would be great to get out with you for a bit of offroading.
does your place cater for tourists

Have faith, there's a truck waiting out there for you... you just need to find it! At least you got the Rangie sold

Yeh just googled the name, lamancha looks good... if it's still open? Hard to tell from the FB page...

Yeh def caught the bug! Sounds good bud, snorkel's on my list too

Would love to get away laning again, particularly Wales, loved it!

You should definitely come up to Scotland at some point... not sure if Glentarkie allow visitors in their own vehicles (You can definitely use a member's vehicle) but if you time it right you'll get snow anyway?? Unfortunately Scotland doesn't do greenlanes

tarkie doesn't do day passes only full years membership we wouldn't use it often enough to justify £150 quid. far as I know lamancha is still open, tho defo get a group before you go there or to drumclog tho.
