Soft Roading
Wondered if anyone can recommend anywhere for a bit of soft roading in our D4?
Don't want to risk any damage, so really probably just a trail, maybe a water splash or crossing, nice views and somewhere for a picnic with our young kids.
Would love to embrace the disco lifestyle at least once lol
We are based in Milton Keynes, but happy to travel for something a bit different.

Join something like the 'All Wheel Drive' club, and look out for their Family days. Gentle off roading to be had at good sites in the south like Slab Common or Salisbury Plain.Richard

Whatever you do stay legal or risk car being impounded. Best to join a local club to learn the ropes. Do a search for "Land Rover club in COUNTY NAME OF CHOICE"
Pay and play = private event on private land and a daily fee
Green lanes = unsurfaced roads but you need to know your beans or end up in trouble with the law and other LR owners Visitor from fullfatrr.com

I used to be a member of Beds, Herts and Cambs Land Rover club, great bunch of people who understand that you want to take things gently. Regular greenlaning days in the local area. You could also go up to wadden as they have a pay and play day. Farmer opens his fields for people to play in.. Sometimes gets loons but it does allow you to get to know your car1971 Range Rover

Land Rover Experience West Country http://www.westcountry.landroverexperience.co.uk do a good Trec day which takes in private land and some fun but not risky challenges, with good instruction if you need it. No danger, child friendly, great fun.
As you can see - someone did get a puncture (unfortunately caught a bit of scrap metal) but otherwise easy going!Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders
