Here's a few pics from 2003 / 2004 - I was on a different forum back then - can't remember which one, however, a couple of chaps known as Exmoor Beast (had a red 110) and White90 (as it says) organised a weekend in Somerset...

... and not quite green laning, but here's a pic at the end of a visit to 'Woodlands' near Sevenoaks ..... that mud is still in the Land Rover 18 years later!

...sorry, a few pics turned into 1 .... I have lots of problems uploading pics from iCloud to here ... don't understand how I see the pic I want in my photo album, but when I select 'Insert Image', it's not available to select.

Jump forward to 2010 and we headed down to mid Wales for New Years green laning. There some stunning lanes around Rhayader and here are some of the snowy highlights... This was an incredible way to spend NY and the weather was beautiful. Great mates and great times

And yes that is me stuck in a very frigid muddy hole. Completely cross-axle'd and going nowhere. Whatever had been through that hole before us had HUGE tyres on and one of the few times it would have been useful to have had axle lockers. The water was very cold to be groping around for recovery points with metal shackles



Oh and if anyone is keen to drive over there I can highly recommend the Llanerchindda guest house. The guys (Andy and Mark) are excellent hosts and keen off-roaders. Local knowledge is essential. Plus they do a breakfast that'll se you through to dinner

A few photo's in a little video from a laning day in North Wales and then some from a week around Bala with Strangerove and LandyV8 with a few others. I did a couple of days then left the 90 with Lewis. Good times.

That 2007 Xmas treasure hunt was the year that i got trapped in my hanibal roof tent due to iced up zips It was warm inside mind and comfy too.

I confess though, I do not recall your name Lodelaner or at least I can't connect a name to the pseudonym...

I recall you camped at Shrewton - and the canvas was frozen solid in the morning.

My forum name was Widget back then. My proper official name is Jonathan or sometimes JB. our paths crossed a few times in person and online - but it has been over 10 years now.
