2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

SLROC Green Road Run 31 Jan

Totally non damaging, on metalled roads and hard tracks (with potholes!) along the side of the Glen Shira Hydroelectric dam reservoir. Sometimes we get a guided tour of the generator house and go inside the dam itself - we also get to drive across the top of the dam.
This run is suitable for every kind of Land Rover but is basically a family day out.
These runs are open to non-members, bring your own picnic and £5. Glen Shira is on the right as you go round the sweeping bends just before you get to the traffic lights at the hump back bridge at Inverary Castle.

Anybody else going? Start is 10:30 at the carpark at the head of Loch Shira for departure at 11:00 - There is no driving off hard surfaces - it's a private road belonging to the Electricity company and there maybe a lot of snow on the other hand there may not! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

It's not a Sport it's a FFRR Tdv8 Autobiography on 22" O/F Tigers! Not a single RRS there, I was in my Defender 90

You might have noticed that the 2 reservoir lochans we drove beside were frozen solid! The water level in the dams is alos very low, in the main dam 40ft below normal level - these are Hydro-Electric dams not drinking water. This winter has been so cold that it is the first time I have seen the sealochs Loch Fyne and Loch Shira frozen. They are salt water!

Just tried looking at the video by using the links and it just comes back with an empty window saying "Nothing for you here" Is there maybe an error in the links or some sort of login needed or I am just being stupid?

Wish I had seen the posts about this sooner looks like it would have been worth every mile of the treck north to Scotland. Gordon Kerr

Well some investigation and the email led to a private host so the owner only wants a selected few to see his videos................. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
