I don't know it, but a search on YouTube returns a few videos of Rivington being driven. Looks to me as though there may be issues with ground clearance, particularly with the side steps you appear to have fitted. Do let us know how you get on. |

Best bet if you fancy a run up/down the steeper track would probably be to walk it first if you're nervous about meeting an obstacle halfway. I admit the track conditions are pretty changeable, having spent most of my formative years trying to avoid skittling dog walkers whilst flying down there on my mountain bike (undoubtedly a quicker way of getting down than in a freelander)!

Are you 100% sure it is a legal right of way i.e. a BOAT or a UCR with currently no TRO on it?

From what I have read on LRO.com site link below it's ok as long as you don't go of piste and on the maps it looks like it's ok, next time I'm over that way I will talk to the other 4x4 drivers to make sure, or see what they say anyway.

Yep that looks like a UCR (red dotted white lane or green dotted ones on higher scale maps) so should be legal so long as no TRO (temporary or permanent) on it. TROs are usually posted each end of a lane on a notice. A TRO is a traffic regulation border use to shut lanes for various reasons. Lots are shutting due to tw*ts going off piste and ruining things for all us law abiders! Best advice after 25 years of laning is to join a local Land Rover club who organise regular green lane trips.

just be careful at the very top. on your map where it say's tower there is a red dot on the top left of the 'T'. there was a 2 foot drop there about 9 month back and i almost got my freelander 1 stuck there.

Never go laning with just one vehicle. Asking for trouble
