I've been on several LRE days over the last 5 years and they've never failed to be brilliant I hope you enjoy it just as much. I was driving a Focus RS when I was first taken around a LRE track as a passenger in 2011. As a direct result of that day, I've had nothing but Land Rovers ever since (and I'm now on my 4th!).
Unless someone's equipped it with a hopeless set of summer (road only) tyres, without even any M+S capability (and the LRE people show you how to get the best out of your new Disco), then you'll be amazed just how capable these cars can be 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

The North Yorkshire? Lots of moors? Rains a lot? Good luck with avoiding wet grass!

Very nice motor
The disco will be much better on everything but as others have said not even a mower which is designed to ride on grass can avoid getting stuck on the wet stuff , the reason the disco is better to be stuck in the wet grass tho is because its less likely to suffer damage to the aestheticics

I'll get my coat..
Lowering the pressures works well, you need to understand what you are driving on and keep momentum going, but spend a few quid on a course to learn how to drive a Disco and don't listen to the camo trousered, rigger booted community that frequent pay and play sites.DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
