I personally don't think its bad at all.. compared with how it used to be 5 years ago its a walk in the park..

that video was shot saurday 8th April 2017... the track isn't bad at all imo. theres a detour around the only tricky bit if you dont fancy it anyway

The detour was a bog sadly and we would have been proper stuck. Looked like a few had tried and failed that over the last couple of days. That said, the rest was great fun and entirely manageable. We are not regular off roaders so take our review as novice!

are we talking the detour shown at 22 seconds into the first video?

Also which truck is yours? there was a nice Bowler in town on twisted wheels today..

This is pretty much why I didn't try it solo! I'm too chicken Embarassed Plus googled a site that said not good solo as so remote. Shame as I wish I'd tried now, especially after seeing Liam's video Thumbs Up James

I have never been stuck on the coach road but invariably been with other folks as a group, only been over once solo in a D3 which was easy. It is a bit remote though so worth going with at least one other vehicle with a tow rope as a minimum.
