The Scottish Land Rover Owners Club will be holding what they call a Green Road Run on the 9th December. At the moment the propsed route is from Lix Toll near to Killin, via the old railway track to the head of Gleann Dubh. This one is very suitable for shiney's as there are no overhanging trees or gorse bushes close to the trail. The route itself starts just off the A85 about 200m before the Land Rover garage at Lix Toll and is on a proper laid shooting road and disused railway bed. I did this earlier this year in my TDv6 and there are some photos of the route here.

If anybody is interested please let me know and I will get on to the organiser and get it confirm the route hasn't been changed. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I was about to ask if you are going to swap your 20" wheels but you have already answered that.

Remembering back to last years photo's I'm sure you will have a great time.  Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

I kept hearing tales/ excuses that his tyres had 25000 miles on them and were worn out so he was going to have to convince Mrs DSL that he needed to buy yet another set............................... then he reduced the pressure from the 40psi he had in them back to the normal 33 and suddenly he found a whole lot more grip  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

A valuable lesson was learned re pressures. Unfortunately told Mrs DSL about letting down the pressures, reply was "well now you don't need those fancy tyres!".

VA U know me, any opportunity to get stuck & I manage it! Still, new tow rope got a bit of a workout.

Was one of the RRSs kind enough to rescue you?

I didn't take the RRS Schmoogle, there was no way with the snow that I was going to risk it when I also have a Defender. I'm sure it would coped well with the conditions but it would not have been a relaxing day for me! Maybe when I get the 19's fitted so I don't knacker the 20's then we'll have a go. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
