I have now done the two events that have taken place in Central Scotland since I bought my Freelander 2 in early April and looking forward to the next one in a couple of weeks

I always like seeing other people's pics so I have attached a few of my car on the recent events ;








I have really enjoyed doing these events and would definitely say try it to anyone thinking about it!

There's plenty of Defenders & Discos on the runs but so far there has only been one Evoque on the first run & one Freelander1 on the second.

I was initially wary about damaging my Freelander, particularly as I had not had it long before I did the first event but my experience has certainly been that the organisers of these events do not want the bad press of entrants cars getting damaged by surprise. I've found the organisers & other competitiors who have done the runs before really helpful as regards potential issues that are likely to come up e.g narrow trails with bushes that could damage paint that at least you know about in advance & I would probably avoid.

As I am keen not to miss out on too much of the action I have fitted both Mantec Sump & Tank guards to protect the underneath. Next thing on the replacement list is tyres as the Good Year Wranglers on the car don't have that much life left in them so it's choices, choices time now!

Well I'm the Evoque owner Ronnie mentions above - I can highly recommend the SGRC runs even though they can be popular but don't be out off by the Discos Defenders and FFRRs, most of them never go off road on anything more difficult than shown in Ronnie's post, most of them are on road tyres and get bogged down now and again unlike the modern Land Rovers! How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?

I wondered if you was there too Tim, looks likea good day out  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Was in Scotland yesterday Nick, now in Dubai, tomorrow Sri Lanka! The clubs that do Freelander Friendly laning in Scotland are the Scottish Green Road Club and the Scottish Land Rover Owners Club. Just a word of warning for anyone coming north in the summer - whilst we have "right to roam" in Scotland it applies to those using Shanks's Pony, there are no Green Lanes as such in Scotland and you must have permission from the land owner before you drive on their land, generally, unless you have a land owning friend, you have to be a member of a club to drive offroad in Scotland. Both the clubs above have websites How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
