Sturge, I was on the Wales trip with my whole family inc. 3 kids - 8,6 and 2 year old - and thats a boy and 2 girls. They loved the whole experience besides 2 year olds eventually resort to kipping every so often anyway 
Car is unbelievable and you will seriously regret it if you don't get one. Mine has done 9500 miles without any serious issues and I bought it in Dec.04 so an early build. 2004 Discovery 3 - gone
2006 Discovery 3 - gone
2008 Discovery 3 GS - gone
2011 Freelander LE Special Edition - gone
2007 Discovery 3 XS - gone
2012 Discovery 4 GS - current

Why, thank you!
You should see some of the things I got up to in East Sussex with Land Rovers as a younger man.......that's where I grew up.
(Let me rephrase that, as I have never grown up, that is where I have spent about half my life.)

I live down the road at Clymping, if you want to see one that's done a few miles give me a shout. Did you know if you knacker a tyre on the XC90 all 4 have to be replaced or you invalidate your warranty  This is according to our sister site RRS big consideration IMO.
Go for it, speak to David Marsh at Harwoods and mention Paul Griffiths. He lives in Worthing I'm sure he'll do a good deal. DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
DS3 TDV6 HSE- Silver with Alpaca (new one) Gone
D4 HSE Lux - Montalcino Red Gone

Disco3? made the stuff we did at Rockingham & Tixover easy - and the instructors said that was equivilent to LR level 2 + Once back on the road, you have a stable and competent cruiser, even with all the stuff I carry 
Wales was excellent, beginning to think the winch was a bit of a waste of money
In short, whether doing the school run or charging across a desert - or anything inbetween, nothing comes close to the capability or comfort
the kids love it too
