Laning in North Wales with a few mates

Just a few pics of my day out yesterday with a few mates

started at Chirk and finished up on the Wayfarer

I posted earlier in the week about the state of pheaseant pen steps. Well it is drivable but the top section above the bomb hole is very badly eroded and could prove difficult.

lovely pics. The D3 needs to carry more spare tyres though - it's seriously under-equipped as is

You would have loved it mate it was a really eventful day.

We rescued a farmer who had tried to drive his 4x4 over a wire fence and got it all wrapped around his axles

We got the winch out to get one of the d3 s up the steps

Drove the last section of pheasant pen steps in the dark and then wayfarer in the dark

And then 3 punctures to deal with

I will send you the link for the bit of video I did of the d3s going up the steps

They are good mates who I got to know when I had a d3

The discos were either on bfg MUDs, or mtrs

All the discos got up the pheasant pen steps apart from one which was a manual. The only reason being a lack of momentum due to a lack of confidence.

They are a very capable car but I do enjoy pulling the out when they get stuck

I also have a Disco 3 with GG all terrains and never had a puncture on them.
Must be a little rugged out there.

Still prefer driving my 300 Tdi 90 instead. A lot more engaging and I would say more capable.
Definately costs less to repair.

Hi amondeggs
Have you got any details on your route or memory map overlays as I'm going to north Wales in summer and wouldn't mind doing a few lanes while there
Cheers paul
