Not many routes that are open to the general public - most of Exmoor is private land.
Best idea is to talk to LRE Honiton, they do Trek days on Exmoor and have access to the private land. Costs approx £85 per day for two people in a vehicle. We have done quite a few days on Exmoor with them, well worth the money - there are some pictures in my gallery. I believe LRE are out with us next weekend so I will have a chat with them to see when they are running days up there. I will be tracking our routes on Memory Map for future reference

The battery installation continues ... I'd like to say a BIG thank you to K9F for crimping the battery cables.
Almost done, just need to wire up the switch and think about the new fuse box bracket (and remove the old fuse box)  Click image to enlarge the car audio solid brass battery terminals worked a treat, the one you can see is a smaller one. Click image to enlarge Switch - maybe tomorrow, probably next weekend... |

De-winterised my 110. Seems a bit pointless with all this sunshine. The rad muff and intake sheild are now safely in a cupboard for next year. Now we will get three feet of snow next week hahah.

The snow covers great for keeping all the crap out Dan, I dug out a handful when it had only done 96 miles
 Keeps the drain points clear preventing leaks into the bulkhead which you know |

Yeah but I was getting a bit tired of the restricted airflow, never had a problem with muck getting in to be fair, will see how I go on. I was amazed at the layer of filth that has laid under it though, will be taking it for a wash later. |

Just to prove it does get a bit of care.
I have however noticed corrosion on the wheel rims and drive flanges. Are these covered by warranty? Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated |

Tugged the boat about with the Defender to try and sort a binding brake, need to rebuild it with new bearings etc
 Thats nothing compared to the amount of work she is going to need to get her ship shape  You have to laugh otherwise you would  And that's without thinking of the money these things soak up, they say anti-foul is the equivalent of painting on whiskey it's that expensive
