i would have still had a go in a 300! so much more fun being in a car and trying a bit of rallying with the right tyres! than struggling and over powering little muddy hills in landrovers.

Almost everything else.

It is, that place looks awesome dude
I was out landying yesterday too
Not been to a big pay and play site yet, but I have dibsies to borrow a landy for a go soon! I like getting involved in any playing in engined things, and proper 4x4ing is different to anything else. I've had a go over a few demo 4x4 courses in a new freelander, and a series through some small stuff sooooo much fun!

yep its awesome fun, there was no set course at this place so you could get any where you want and make new tracks if you desired/were capable!
im in to pretty much and 4 wheeled motor sport and would love to have a go at rallying at some point! thought after driving the 360 like a n*b i thought i needed something a bit slower after some seriously close calls with speed cameras! im trying to find some green lanes round beverley for some afternoons fun. problem being though after playing at the weekend i now have a wish list of things i cant afford, same as with the 360 i spose! looks like im going to have to fabricate some sills for the landy as 200 quid for jack able rock sliders is way of the books! anyone got a welder lol!

Looks great fun!
I'd really like to get a Defender, but they're about 10X the price of a 300 for one the same age. Really not sure which would be the best choice...
