As you know ive sold the cabby and thats hopefully going in the next 2 days,ive already sorted out a replacement car,vauxhall frontera 2.2 swb with lpg,as i want to try off roading has anybody done a course they could recommend?

Fellow member Ianu is probably the man to speak to. He's done a bit of off-roading. 

[the alarming man]

cheapest way is to join a 4x4 group (F.O.G for you ) and they run off road pay and play and green lane trips and all it costs is a tank of fuel

[martin42]

Cheers,im already a member on f.o.g just want some experience 1st before going off road with other people,and to know how to use the 4x4 properly and its limits

tbh if you go green laning there is always enough experience to teach the right way...one thing I will say is NEVER go alone 


another way is to join your local 4x4 response group as they run off road courses only prob is you do have to volunteer

[martin42]

I wont go alone.will make sure im with an organised group ,need to get all terrain tyres fitted tho before i even think about going lol

Hi, You seem to be near the bedfordshire area - google "Devils Pit" they are near Barton and have a good reputation on Landy Zone and have various courses you can try and plenty of help available if it goes wrong, I was going to take my Range Rover off roading up there but that went against my OCD on keeping my cars spotless

Hope that helps

Darren.

Ah yes i remember that place,forgot it was there

If you go out with a decent crowd  of experience members they will keep you right ,  i used to offroad in a frontera sport  2.0  with a set of muds i kept upwith the landies  i am in a an offroad club    i learned as i went    now own  isuzu`s  at  ok if it a grass fielld or bit of lanning but if you gonna do offroading  you will need mud tyres.

I am looking at getting a 2nd set of wheels and tyres just for off roading
