Following on from the success of the last two forum members events in Kielder Forest I have been able to again arrange exclusive use of the forest for the members of the Disco3/freel2/RRS and Defender forums.

The date we have is Sunday Feb 14th.

Further details and the signup can be found on the Disco3 forum at http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic41486.html

Look forward to seeing some Range Rover Sports at the next event.

Jeremy and I from CHPR have signed up for this. It would be nice to see a few of the RRS crew there.

Just emailed the boss (SWMBO has aldredy agreed) at CHPR to confirm that the sales time will be two men down that weekend!

PS. Snow forecast tonight in North Bucks

I'm staying at www.nursescottage.co.uk if you fancy a weekend in the New Forest

I wonder if the tower has lost it's Johansen's listing as the link doesn't work for me either. I ended up here when I googled it http://www.otterburntower.com/ 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

We aborted the Sailsbury run today as the KTM riders felt that they'd struggle to see the tracks under the snow! Will prob be going down there Sun 27th.

Brilliant drive through the Keilder Forest, 2 RRS - Alicatt and me were there but 4Wheeldriver also came along in my car - I don't have many photos of the day but the car certainly got dirty driving superbly maintained trails with the option NOT to do the more demanding or those that have a high risk of damage being able to be by-passed.

it is a good day out

I went on the first one they did, along with another 3 or 4 Freelander2, I also opted out of the really sticky stuff as i didn't want to get stuck, Chicken George went through fine, but LEE, got stuck and needed a tow out

Found quiet abit of conifer rash though, but nothing too serious

if i start taking the white FL2 off road, it would be something i would look at again

Nick, white and silver are the best colours for offroading............................... you have to look so hard on them to see the bramble rash and gorse attacks and all the mud shows up so much better! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Really dissapointed that I couldn't go in the end, looks like it was a lot of fun.

I like the 90 by the way....... is it running a TDV6?

James

James it said TD5 on the label but it wasn't unless it had a very sexy exhaust! It wasn't a V8 either. It WAS an automatic and you could be right with the TDV6.............................. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
