The Scottish Land Rover Owners Club will be holding what they call a Green Road Run on the 9th December. At the moment the proposed route is from Lix Toll near to Killin, via the old railway track to the head of Gleann Dubh. This one is very suitable for shiney's as there are no overhanging trees or gorse bushes close to the trail. The route itself starts just off the A85 about 200m before the Land Rover garage at Lix Toll and is on a proper laid shooting road and disused railway bed. I did this earlier this year in my TDv6 and there are some photos of the route here.

I think that Yellow Landie hasn't moved in years! There is another one there as well - a pick-up that has huge tractor tyres on it for bog wading, it was made for Forest Enterprise and is now a collectors car. Lix Toll have a few rare and unusual Landies and if you are up there they like folks to drop in and look, it's free! It was then that converted my 90 from a van to a Stationwagon. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

It's 6pm on Saturady and just in case anybody is thinking of coming along unannouced I thought that I would let you know that we have had a blizzard out here in the Trossachs and we have 3cms of snow laying already, and another 7 forecast overnight - a great opportunity to try out the snow setting on your TR but unless we get rain during the night I would imagine that a drive up to Lochearnhead will be the last thing you want to do in your Freelander tomorrow. I'll be there in my 90 if it is still on, the RR Sport will be staying on the drive because I chose to delay fitting the Snow tyres until next week..................... like an idiot!

2 guys from Disco 3.co.uk came along and despite the snow and it being extremely cold up at 2000ft we had an enjoyable day. I have posted some pictures here http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/post232278.html#232278 and the last few are what the same route looks like in May. I think that some of you would enjoy these drives as the idea is to get people out in their Land Rovers on non damaging terrain with their family, enjoying themselves.

You should have come and joined us Dave. DSL came from South Wales via Granton-on-Spey to join in! The Freelander2 would have handled it easily in the Snow mode, which is what the D3's used. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
