Hi guys
Reason why we need vehicle type is that GLASS who are helping us plan the route need to know the capabilities of what we are in as some routes are not suitable for a "soft-roader" (non-selectable 4 wheel drive, no Diff-Lock and no Low Range), which will struggle, if manage it at all.
Vehicle recovery is not on our agenda!
For Safety we will have any "Soft Roaders" in between more capable vehicles as it is quite possible that we end up on a Byway that becomes impassable or passable only by damaging it. In the latter case we will not proceed as we will be adhering to the "Tread Lightly" ground rules.
Turning the vehicle round is not usually an option on a narrow Green Lane, so we have to reverse back the way we came. So we need the most capable vehicles at the front and at the rear to assist any that have problems.
