Just got the video edited from our wild-camping off-road trip in the mountains for North Wales. It was an awesome adventure, as good as it gets in the U.K. I reckon! With fellow members of the North Somerset Land Rover Club we drove Happy Valley and several other excellent lanes just south of Snowdonia National Park. We drove my Defender Hi Capacity pickup, a ‘proper’ greenlaning Discovery 1, and a classic Series IIa. All vehicles were more than up to the challenges and proved that Landy’s really can “Go Beyond”… Here’s the story of the trip, including 2 out of 3 Land Rovers taken out by a nasty axle-twisting gulley!
A short video trailer for our trip to mid-wales – the weather was pretty bad but that just made it more of an adventure. We drove Strata Florida in the rain which was fantastic, camping along the route in the back of the Land Rovers. Here’s a taster, a full length video coming soon…
It’s almost over, the longest coldest winter for 30 years that is. Currently we are getting fantastic blue skies, bright sunshine but still with a bitterly cold wind and sub-zero temperatures at night. Spring is just around the corner now… surely. But this late winter has a character all of it’s own – I took a trip out in the sunshine around the Chew Valley and Mendips and did a couple of nice greenlanes, Nordrach and Dursdon Drove, here’s the video:
