This Place is very close if you want to continue the day and do a bit of 4x4ing.

If you get the date sorted on this I could arrange for you to meet one of the blokes who checks your D3 is OK. Slowly building a silver G4 RRS!

depending on dates..... If you are annoying me, just remember it takes 42 muscles for me to frown and only 4 to extend my middle finger, and I'm lazy so don't be offended.

Andrew, how much of that place (if any) would be do-able in a Fl1 with 1" lift and ATs?

I assume (prob wrongly) that this would be a weekday. Woud be very nice if immediately before or after the Wiltshire trip as I'll be down in the Smokey Souff from way Ooop Norf, but the Gods are never that kind. Again, dates dependant Honda Dog U better DUCK!!!!!

Probably most of it CY. The Freely is OK off road barring ground clearance. You'll certainly have fun there and plenty of people to help you out if need be.

I did the Silver tour with my lad's Scout Troop (as one of the 'responsible'  adults...) at Halewood. It was fascinating watching the FL2 and Jags being built.
The run around the 'off-road' demo area in various D3, Defenders and RRs topped off the day.
Well worth it..... 2005 D3 SE Auto - Zermatt / Ebony
1980 BMW R100RS - Blue
1980 Laverda Jota - BRIGHT Orange (and very LOUD)

Great idea, but as most, date dependant TDV6 HSE Black, Black Wheels /MTR's, Black RRS front/rear LR badge (tbf) Black Leather, Black Glass, Black TowB, Shiny Tasmods, Dull Mantec, White (& Orange) Reflective D3 Sticker, Black steering wheel badge, black air intake. Optima & Traxide dual battery setup.
Need black RRS wheel centre caps.
We D3, therefore we are..........
