An absolutely fantastic experience. What a brilliant place and fantastic people. From the booking through continuous updates and reception at Butterstone Loch. The course is amazing, I still can’t believe that I drove the RRS over any of it. Before the instructions from Doug I won’t have even considered looking at it. Great place and great car.

So that qualifies both of you to join up to the Scottish Green Road Club and come and join in with the Scottish version of green laning. Club website has joining instructions and application form at www.scotgrc.co.uk £20 for lifetime membership and £10 per run attended to cover the costs of arranging the runs. The next run out is Feb10th and 11th in the Galloway Forest - it is over two days due restrictions on numbers attending each day by the land owner. These are non-damaging ( unles yountry very very hard) droves intended as a non-scary day out on mostly forestry tracks/ waterboard roads/ Electriciry Company roads and wind farm access roads. Most are gravel roads but your car will get dirty, no special tyres needed, they are great fun and membership gets you automatic membership of the Scottish Green Training Club too where we do more serious things like winch training, teaching you what the controls of TR do, how to recover cars and how to drive where there are no roads or tracks. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

PC, Butterbridge is on the west coast at the back of the Rest and Be Thankful just off the A83 and is a seriously good place to go greenlaning if you have the land owners permission - it is Freelander Friendly so any other LR can hack it too. I took a 1 day old Evoque over the tracks there in Sept 2011..... The LRE is at Butterstone near Dunkeld over on the east side of Scotland. I assume your are something to do with the wind farm that is to be developed in Glen Kinglass? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I was at Dunkeld LRE in November, they tailor it to what you want and I at no time felt like there was any sales pitch. I'd upgraded the free ticket to full day and took a friend so the driving was split, so I was trying to learn as much as I could about what all the terrain response controls and other hardware was about while my friend was more concentrating on the track and didn't really care about the RRS hardware. The instructor just tailored it to us. We were on the custom built track in the morning then one of the the forest tracks in the afternoon and had a great day.

Thanks Tim, I may have to take you up on that kind offer, especially since I’m ideally placed for the Galloway forests. |
