Quote:Duncan, see my gallery for the Eastnor Castle experience i had, was yours less chalenging than this??
The track looks the same but youve got loads more mud. Perhaps I was expecting too much Duncan

I did my level 1 at Bala 1st half in a D3 then a 110 Def and really enjoyed.
Later i was thinking that i should have gained what knowlage i got in the morning then in the afternoon learned when to use traction control and when not to and to get stuck in places where the instructor could get out using different tecniques and let me practice some of them.
I also think they should spend an hour telling you about all the controls and gadgets ie even sat nav etc and get you confident with them.
and should you get a punture in the ruts ? WELL what you going to do with that so called jack in the back,Get them to demanstrate,then you vidio it and get it up on the website were Martin can make it a sticky for all to see.

I think they will be okay Ive got new tyres all round now, although they are standard Wranglers. I would be surpised if they would be any worse on Geronomo than MTRs.
I need to get it dirty again, ive got the bug now!!! My brother in law would love to come out as well he has 2 4x4's a Disco 2 V8 ES and 911 carrera 4S I would love to see that off road.
He is also thinking of joining Greepiss with his eco friendly cars 15 3.0 RRS HSE - Silver

Use your own car, at least then you can honestly say you have used it off road.
You will be surprised and you will not damage it, if you are carefull, take a look at Andrews and Kens cars they may be dirty most of the time but they will look like new with a wash and a polish. 15 3.0 RRS HSE - Silver
