I'm very much interested in getting into some green Laning and off-road trails. I don't suppose you'll respond to the comment but either way what recommendations would you make for a L322 Range Rover in terms of necessary preparations?

@MachinaDesigns

3 жыл бұрын

Great stuff! Do it every chance you get and enjoy the outdoors. As for the Range Rover I would recommend some all terrain tires and from what I know they utilise air suspension which can be easily adjusted on the fly. The Range rovers are pretty heavy vehicles but very capable off-road. Once you get some good tires take her out and see how she reacts and performs. A snorkel is nice to have but not necessary as long as you don’t plan on crossing deep water. Ultimately have a good time off-road and enjoy the challenge of tackling the tracks with the L322. All the best

Im new to UK, only been here a few months, would love to explore some routes around. Currently in South East Wales, where would I find routes? And are their routes suitable for soft roaders/cross overs? I drive a Q5. Super capable vehicle, just poor clearance and not great with rocks... Also you can spot a Saffa a mile away with his slops and shorts in the bush 😂

Haha yes you can! There are loads of tracks across wales but mostly rocky with rock steps and water crossings. I would suggest coming across to Salisbury and driving across Salisbury plain as it’s more forgiving and flatter. Now looking for routes or legal tracks you’ll need to visit council websites for the areas as they will indicate all the drivable tracks. I do have quite a few more videos on off-roading in the U.K. which may help you
