Is it similar to the following? I'm going onto a one day LR experience course, two of us, (next month), but you use their car, the same model etc as your own, then spend day, one hour training, (meal etc included) out and about one of their own courses. I've picked the one up in Yorkshire, you experience driving along and up/down Gradients/Water driving/sand/rubble/rocks/muddy drive through forest tracks (they water) etc. Looks a grand day out, and no damage to my own car. Can't be bad. A one off 650 gift, couldn't afford that to often. John

Guys, it is so good to see others not scared to take their pride and joy off into the slightly rough stuff, such a pity that so many Land Rover products end up being supermarket carpark queens or having the living day lights polished out of them, when they are so capable away from the supermarket carpark............

Agreed Tim. Whole day off-roading in a comfortable cabin riding on air suspension didn't tire me one bit. Kids had a little nap in the rear seats in the afternoon which wouldn't have been possible if they were being thrown about in, say, a Defender. The thought of driving back to NW London the same day wasn't stressful either. On top of that, TR2 and ATPC made the whole thing a piece of cake! Having said that, I would like to do this in a low-tech 4x4 to learn some skills. I did my LRE in Eastnor in a Defender in Jan/Feb and it was quite fun too.

LR have their experience days on their course in North Yorkshire, you can do the various runs/courses with your own car, or have the half or whole day experience with their cars, generally have similar model to what you own, just newer.

Great video, goes to show that you don't have to get your car covered in mud or drive through gorse bushes to have a great day out on the lanes, just wish we had the access to tracks up here that you have down south as there are no public rights of way in Scotland and you must have the land owner's permission to take a vehicle onto it............ Hence why we tend to do green laning with a club which can cause a problem with numbers of vehicles.... The run I did last Sunday at Killin was behind locked gates, with a written permit from the land owner but there were 28 Land Rovers......... That really upsets walkers who have right to roam, especially if the weather has been dry for a few days and the tracks get dusty. What it does do though is ensure that the tear away element don't misbehave as they know that only 1 complaint will get the club banned by the land owner. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

So true Tim, all it takes are a few irresponsible idiots during of piste to get the antis up in arms. Unfortunately it seems to be happening more and more. Even LRE are not spared from revved up ramblers as they'd had problems on one of the Devon treks. It was very dry and dusty when we where out and there where a few ramblers looking a little grey and coughing and spluttering by the time we'd all driven past... 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current
