Gentle off road jaunt on Scottish Estate

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. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

Of course , no point in taking the 90 somewhere where it won't get muddy! Also want to try out my new Pirelli Snow tyres off the tar. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

I hope so. It has been very wet up here recently so we will be staying on the laid track this time! A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

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 Mr. Green Mr. Green A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

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!". Big Cry Big Cry

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

Embarassed Embarassed 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. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.
