4x4 on Snowdon

[jw2106]

Hi anybody just see the 10 o'clock welsh new some numpty drove a frontera up there besides the railway line and managed to get it stuck just 400m from the top on the return journey ...was all done up to pickup conversion winch etc...as if the off road community need the bad press

I think it was nicked or something, It doesn't look in a spot to get stuck unless it broke down.

I bet it was fun going up

Programmes like Top Gear don't help, when Clarkson decided to take a Discovery to the top of a Welsh mountain. :doh :doh

It got stuck several times, but it didn't break down, or at least it wasn't shown to have done. :nenau


I bet we all would like to do that run..........:augie

A man has been charged with a driving offence after a 4x4 vehicle was found close to the summit of Snowdon

That must be some sort of record... I bet they will nobble him for that one though.

well who said frontera`s are crap off road.:thumb2.
just think of the advertising cred.
have you seen the footage of the open top touring car driving up in 1917-18.
must have 10 blokes pushing to get it up.
whats changed.:thumbs

I like the options for bringing it down.


My favourite would be break it up and take it down in pieces. A fitting end for a Frontera.

didn't exactly take the one of the harder routes though did he.

illy

 

[lacroupade]

He's now been charged LOL

Yes, he would have had problems up the Watkin path. Especially the scree at the top!

He's now been charged LOL

Just because he owns a Frontera seems a little harsh :lol

A lesson to us all, if we venture off road without permission or knowing if the road is really a by-way for vehicles etc.
