Hi DSL the first part of the day is going round the training area which looks like it could get slippy 
the second half is on Landrover tracks so i think that road tyres should be ok.
I think that all the LRE vehicles run on standard rubber 
hope it rains some more 
i will be using my new grabber at2s 
bring yir wellies just in case  Its not the height of the fall but the sudden stop at the bottom that hurts!!

I've done this a couple of times. 1st time it was chucking it down and used their D3 HSE on normal tyres. I managed everything without a problem, including 'the dell' and coming back through the 'pond' in reverse up the difficult route.
Second time was at the D3.co.uk day out. Bone dry all over, hardly any water or mud, even up in the forest tracks.
Your road tyres will be fine Derek, but the MTR's will be better  Needing car cleaning or detailing products.

Just back from excellent day out. Good to meet Rescue01, just to reassure myself that there is enough rom in his D3 for a proper beer fridge for Tunisia (I bring the Takla, he brings the beer!!! ). Good afternoon up in the forest, morning was unchallenging fun, far more interesting than the A9. Takla came in useful when a D2 had a puncture. They may try and organise a more challanging day if enough DISCO3.CO.UK interest as the "public" days are limited by the lowest ability/confidence/courage etc. Any interest?? No idea on date, cost, whetehr it will go ahead at this stage as they need minimum numbers (10 or 12 I think) for it to be viable. Watch this space! Honda Dog U better DUCK!!!!!
