Well today I got ready for my 2.5 hour trek to my nearest Land Rover Experience centre. Everything is packed in the car and tomorrow I'm ready to start my 6am journey. I have been fortunate enough and have been many many times but it's a bit like Christmas you never get bored of it

I have upgraded to a full day, morning in a FL2 and the afternoon in a Defender. Does anyone have any questions regarding off roading as I'm happy to ask my instructor

I decided to get a new pair of wellies and opted for Hunters which are 3mm lined to keep your feet/legs warm and have a removeable 6mm insole which can be replaced with a 3mm should one wish too. Also picked up hunter socks and a handy travel bag to keep the boot clean.


Ps will be uploading Fridays photos when it comes :










Heated wheel will be handy in minus weather


Badly needs a wash -Fuji is a nightmare to keep clean

When I go I don't indtend to get dirty , why the wellies? Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

The wellies I use in general we have a family farm which I help out on occasionally! When at a LRE Centre you do get out to assess the off-road conditions and I'd rather not ruin my trainers  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

I have done three half days and one full day and never got my shoes wet once! o

Assessing the conditions, is that not the instructors job ?  Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

I have a theory about cars with tissues on the rear seats but we won't go into that here

Enjoy tomorrow


Ps you do get bored of Christmas, it's nothing more than a spendfest for chavs and an excuse for those with a stained Avensis to charge more...roll on January...

whereabouts are you Based LR Nut ? 2.5 hr journey is a heck of a way. Looking forward to the photos Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Never been to LRE but welly boots look like a sensible precaution to me

looks like great fun! I think that was just the car park! I should take some sandwiches as well just in case you get stuck! looking forward to the photos.

A day to enjoy, sounds more fun than christmas and should provide better pics too.

However it looks like you got the wrong luggage, these are what you need to keep the contents secret.



Are black Argylls no longer the farmers favourite?



Re the video, it looks like the eastnor show where the show sites just as challenging as the off road course.

Snaps as promised, I have many more and will update accordingly For those who have never been to LRE I would strongly recommend it...

So, was it a good day out?
Which LRE centre is this?
Oh & btw did your wellies work ok?
 FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

The FL2 was brilliant effortless and far superior than my FL1 but I love them both equally still

My only gripe if any was the auto box and the power delay when on the road test! I could not honestly tell that it had an extra 40bhp! When the pedal was to the floor it took at least 1 second for the torque converter to wake up. However in Sport mode I could notice the extra bhp but I assumed that the sport mode drive would be the standard set up for the car.

In the afternoon we had the Defender on a different track (the FL2 would get stuck) which was a joy to drive, I've driven a few 90 hard tops on tarmac but never a 110! They are still hand made and our one had the heated seat switches the wrong way around which made us chuckle - human error eh!

The manual box was nice and the diff lock was amazing but it did take a few attempts to get in engaged but I was told this is quite common. The D2 diff lock was never that troublesome to engage! The 110 was acting a recovery vehicle as it had a winch and tow bar!

Definitely worth the upgrade for those of us who are on Facebook like your local LRE centre as last minute you can get 10-20% off due to cancellations. However I paid the full amount for my full day upgrade as I booked it for now hoping it would snow

PS wellies are a must if your like me and want to assess the situation and venture out of your comfort zones  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

Nut - best of luck with the Hunters - have you read the reviews on Amazon lately ?! Shocking quality since they moved the manufacturing to the east. FL2 2007 57 GS
D2 2005 Td5 - gone and not missed
FL1 2005 Td4 - gone and missed

Nice shots of yours by the waterside
Why the Heated Towel Rail
