A day out with you blokes really does sound tempting. Pity I am hoofing the nc500 that weekend and will literally be as far away as possible on the mainland. Maybe next time?

You are welcome anytime. We don't do silly stuff just have a nice relaxed trip out. Well I say relaxed, apart from when Dan drives a scratchy lane. :)

On my previous Jimny I put on some 205/75R15 AT2 General Grabbers, they were very good and transformed the car into a mountain goat.They were slightly taller which altered the speedo to lose the 10% gain they normally have. I had to also remove my front mud flaps as they caught on full lock. Other than that they were great in all weathers, it was the only mod I ever made and I still used it for off roading..

Funny, I was wondering about this exact same tyre so thanks for posting. Do you recall specifically how they might have coped on ice covered tarmac - I'm thinking about frosty mornings on untreated roads as well as the proper white stuff?

Cheers

Yes, gents, sorry been really busy. Do you need me to send maps in advance or happy to just follow me about lol? :laugh: Trying to work out where I can get a digital OS map to mark it out in advance

I just need to get over to one of the lanes (the highlight) this week one evening and make sure it's open. I can PM you both the starting location but it will be near maidstone - how about 9am start? (Allan, seem to remember you not liking it too early :))
