The lean angles are impossible to reproduce on video.
Two more videos. The guy in the last video is affectionately known as "Mr. Purple Head". 😂

The last but one video you can get a sense of the angle, looks really tight on the exit of the river too. Love it, I'll have to seek out a few of these places with a (slightly) more appropriate vehicle - even though the Volvo would of course nail it.

The Volvo would have been fine on most of the ones we did yesterday, provided you don't mind scratches.

As mentioned you only need to look at for scratches but I think the tyres might just let it down. What are the banging noises? Bodywork or something on the roof? Reminds me of the soundtrack to Goldeneye on the N64.

CB whip getting caught up in the low branches. It's on a big spring so won't snap.

More than a few really good captures there Mark. Prime lenses really make a huge difference; I don't use either my 50mm or 105mm nearly enough - not at all in the last 2 years, in the case of the 105! Really must get it out of the case and used again.

A mate of mine lives down your neck of the woods and he did just that. He goes green laning and winching - which apparently means you drive into muddy puddles until you get stuck and then winch yourself out. I think his brother runs Britpart so he gets his spares from them. |

Does the proximity of the exhaust to the left rear not create any issues?

Looks like a great weekend, oddly, I do not miss my experiences with winching etc LR's.

Winching isn’t a lot of fun and shouldn’t really be done on a lane, but I was glad I had it. The last 20m was a bog and I was beached completely.

Wow what amazing scenery. That's what it's all about - driving remote lanes to see the great scenery. A minority of 4x4 drivers just want to go and play in the mud, which gives the rest of us a bad reputation - if you want to do that, my attitude is that you should go to a pay and play site. Mistakes do happen occasionally as shown above, but the majority of us want to drive sustainable lanes in fantastic locations. My favourite two lanes of the weekend were "The Highway" - the one with the waterfall and sculpture at the top in North Yorkshire and "Breast High Road" in the Lakes. The High road was a very challenging, rocky road made worse by man made drainage pipes installed under concrete - all the rocks under the concrete get washed away and create massive steps - it's tough on the cars. |

Looks fantastic. That sculpture looks like it would fit one of those Ikea wiggly mirrors that all the students had about 15 years ago.

Looks fun. And you seem to have survived a few days in the wilderness with a group of strange men.
