Local run just because its sunny.

My 1st day off in ages so went for a local drive around. Never more than 10 miles from home but it made a change not having a plan, just
having a nice drive. From Hastings, north to Broad Oak, east to Rye then back to Hastings through Fairlight.

Very nice

Nice Photos!

That's what we'd call a "Bimble"

To be honest it made a nice change from doing competitions.

Well that's certainly different Allan....love it...nice leisurely pace, take it all in as you go, great photos
I love where I live, but when I see pics like yours I just turn green....

Thanks Gus. I am just the same when I see Wales or the north of England. Oh and the West country.
I have enjoyed driving all over England offroad and love them all for there differences.
I do love living here though. Yes I am in the town but its 2 mins to the beach, 5 mins to the countryside and can be in France
in just over an hour.

Lovely pics - the rugged tyres look v good - how do they work on main roads in terms of ride /comfort / noise etc ?
Admire the lovely countryside & the green lanes which you obviously get to make the most.
just bought a jimny & have sorted out a service & towbar & new rear box & is going really well on the roads - looking forward to some winter weather to see how it feels in snow and ice & living at the coast must try and get off road.
thanks for encouragement from big jimny motorists

Offroad, the best I have ever used. Onroad, better than you would think. Grip level is fine even in the wet.
But as for noise, bloody hell they are loud as soon as you are 30 mph+

thanks I think I get the picture - sounds like good fun mind you & my 92 year old mother in law may not even hear it
reminds me of some of the rear boxes guys put on real beetles - kind of raw but wonderful at the same & from what you guys are saying with decent tyres the jimny is as good as a landrover off road.
my tyres are in need of replacement soon but in the meantime determined to try and get off road somewhere - we have friends who have a farm in co Antrim - they are bound to have a field we can mess around in & will report back - roll on Christmas & happy motoring

Looks like a great few lanes there, I'll have to search some of them out as I haven't ventured off road recently.

The is not many around Hastings Benn but you have loads around your way.
If I am having a proper day I head over your way or west to Eastbourne or Crowborough.
If you want a run out sometime, let me know.

Yeah I am very lucky to have one opposite my house, but as I normally go out in my own I have only driven lanes that I have walked or cycled before so haven't ventured on to any of the tougher looking lanes yet. It would be great to head out sometime.
