tell me that the second picture down is not Battersby Plantation, I heard that it had been trashed by the Forrestry guys but didn't realise it was this bad ???

Yup, it certainly is, not a problem for the Jimny's though ;). However aggressive, nobbly tyres and a lift are a must because the mud is so deep and boggy!

And they blame us for wrecking lanes, the bar stewards.

I believe that it used to be worse but someone has come along and moved most of the massive trees out of the way.

used to be a fantastic little lane through the darkness of the trees with roots and rocks to negotiate.

I'd read on another forum that the Forestry Commission were to repair the damage caused by their operations, probably best avoided until then. The only other people that get to see this are mainly walkers and they will conclude that it's 'off roaders' that have screwed it up. It doesn't want to end up getting a TRO :(

Looks like you were brave to go down there without a winch - or was that a winch I spied on the front of the Jimny being towed out by you in the last video?

If so he could have sent you first so he could winch you out if you got stuck!

Ah yes I remember seeing the jeep in the other piccies. Looks like you had fun.

Looking forward to seeing more Jimnys together at tong. It must cool to be able to go greenlaning and off roading regularly with another Jimny. All my club are LR mad with a few non road going zuks and wot not. Our previously zuk owning mates have a 90 now. They all seem the same. They are good but dull.

At least your other mate has a jeep so is not on the landy band wagon!
