I took the Yellow Peril off road today.

Woodland track only, but it allowed the use of FWD at one point, where I reversed up, onto a steep bank, to turn an acute corner. As expected, no issue with grip/traction.

It had rained overnight, and was doing so again when i set off, so the ground was quite muddy in places, but TWD was fine for much of the track.

The Kinetic Yellow looked good in the woodland setting.

There are a couple of chewed-up tracks where the forestry was cleared a couple of years ago. They should be a little more interesting.

Not wanting to rain on your parade and I'm sure you already have but do make sure you have a legal permission to be there like a right of way, also if the track is legal but has been damaged in the past assess what further damage you may inflict and be responsible. Remember that the police have the ability to issue a section 59 which can potentially see you loose your car.

No issue with access, Lambert, but a valid point, nonetheless. B)

Didn't doubt it. It's just what with there being so many anti 4x4 people, we as enthusiasts have to set ourselves the best standard of responsibility etc just to enjoy our hobby. It's faintly saddening but it's also how it is.

Who would have thought that, Guy? The light, and colour of the new leaf, was spot on.
