Pointers please towards a gentle intro to green laning and off roading.

Thanks everyone, great advice, much appreciated.

Well that's it - cherry broken.
Grizedale Forest, what I can only describe as the most impossible "road" I Have ever been on - I wouldn't even have walked it!!
My friend in his modified, lifted Defender, said "it's not that bad"
My main modification so far has been to polish the headlights.
And it started easy enough, then it looked like the earthquake had caused a landslide, then the following flood took all the soil away!!
I wouldn't have done it in his Defender.
And there was no way to turn round.
He said at one point "that's the worst bit done"... he was lying!
Did I mention it went dark while we were doing this too...

Anyway to cut the next two hours down a bit, my "friend" could not believe how well the little Jimny was doing, especially compared to his Defender.
Neither could I.
His friend, my co-pilot, was so impressed he now wants one.

I think I'm going to need a new clutch

We have been trying to tell you it will drive over stuff you can't walk up even without modifications. Enjoy.

Nice one! Grizedale is great

you could try parkamoor next time your in that area. be interesting to see if a standard jim could handle that :evil:

Have a search on Daves blogs for what lanes in the area are like... greenlaning.blog

This is coming down from the top (its a dead end)...




Known as Parkamoor or Nibthwaite.

Nice one Riccy, enjoyed the vid too. It's amazing how big such a small bonnet can look when going down hill haha.
