Just had a lovely Mother's day At Avalanche Adventures, quarry pit. Market harboured.
With our sons 3 Month old Defender. Road tyres. Very impressive.
Sorry can't post videos.

That’s what a Land Rover was born to do. Smashing.
He might like these. I went with them plenty of times and was invited to join the local. LR owners club

Interesting to see what the under bonnet looks like as my Pajero got as grubby in the engine compartment as outside. Hours to clean it.

He will take it to work at JLR, and cleaned there. He designed the intake system on his 3.0 diesel.
Costs him £400, a month Insurance and VED included, 10k miles and he gets a new one. Perks of being a design engineer with JLR.
He says use it as it is designed for.
It's fantastic to drive.
At the risk of thread drift - car makers schemes for employees and retirees are under threat by this government who consider the schemes to be a loophole that needs closing - if it goes ahead it'll cost £3-4,000 in extra tax per employee or double that for managers who get two cars.

Yes that is a problem, at the moment it is all good, car is leased from a dealer, not from JLR, direct. obviously the bean counters are on the ball, AT The Moment.
Dealer buys at trade price, leases to JLR employees, changes at 10 k miles, resells at 1 year old from new price.
But he could buy at ultra cheap price, keep for a year and sell it to me.
But would I want to buy a car that has "only been used by one lady old aged pensioner" in a mud quarry. 😂😂😂🤔

If the lease allows off road driving then 4x4 adventure tours are excellent. There’s a 2019 video in the blog of a New Landcruiser doing the Bomb Hole on the Strata Florida off road route. Made it look easy but from doing it in my Pajero it’s not.

We were told by the organisers today, " Don't try that route, it's too wet today" but someone in an well kitted Range rover tried to go through. Had to be winched through 3 foot of thick mud. The front end must have been submerged for over 1/2 hour, engine bay clogged I would think.
Some lovely you tube videos of what looked like American Jeeps etc, highly modified, climbing almost vertical rock faces.

They also use those dune buggy vehicles that look like something out of Mad Max. Amazing what they can climb.
I was a passenger in a '60's short wheel base LR going up up a steep granite hill and it was frightening as thought we were going to flip over backwards. In those days so such thing as seat belts. Once you start the upward journey, you cannot turn around and have to reverse very slowly downhill and avoid braking harshly.

There are some places where you can go on a ride along, but you need to sign all sorts of documents.

Does sons have a snorkel air intake? Couldn’t see it on the pic.
My boy took me to a place near Bournemouth a while back . The supplied a very old but well kitted Disco . Driving through mud and rivers was something else, never mind the near vertical hill climb!
