altitude not atitude
me trucks getting how I want it now.
im not interested in pissing locals off or ripping nature reserves up or testing me truck on bits of unmapped lanes. but I need adventure with it. green laning is great but does anyone know of the highest altitude lane? I would love to drive up a mountain. is it possible? |

I know many years ago a Ford Model T managed to drive up Ben Nevis in Scotland but no vehicle after that has be allowed to I know you can get a permit to drive Gates Scar Pass in the Lakes but the max wheel base is 100" so sadly that rules out the LWB T2 & don't know of any other high off road passes.

we once drove up a very big hill in Ireland with an amazing view over various islands in a mazda bongo 4x4.
I didn't get my tuck the way it is for pay and plays, I didn't do all the mods for green laning. I did it because its our only form of transport (apart from foot and pushbike) and i want it to cope with all our adventures. i love getting to the best view points. if i can find a place we can drive very high up and flop a tent out by me truck. i wont tell you where it is lol |

In Scotland there are almost no green lanes but you could get to some very high points up there you just need the go ahead from the land owner to drive on their land

The drive up Snowdon was hardly difficult. it seems he tried twice and broke it twice. Apparently driving up the footpath
Any way, moving on, there's plenty of mountainous tracks around north and mid Wales we could take you on if you have time. The zip wire is on my to do list too |
