This film is from the 2nd day of a laning weekend and shows us navigating from Strata Florida to Nant-y-Moch, which you could describe as Devil’s Bridge. Then driving about the Nant-y-Mooch area which is littered with quality tracks through desolate moorland.
Towards the end of the film you’ll see a lane that we have yet to finish because it has such a severe lean on it. My nerve had gone by the end of it that’s for sure. Check out my YouTube channel for green laning and Land Rover "how to" videos. |

Yep I agree. There was a bank there so it was only going to flop on it's side but I didn't realise how bad it would be until I'd gone past the point of no return Check out my YouTube channel for green laning and Land Rover "how to" videos.

Possibly. I have had it on it's side once before and just picked up a few light scratches. Tough beasts these 110's.
It just slowly corkscrewed on me previously and not onto moorland grass. The way it drops into that ditch it would be too late to back out anyway. Anyway, I survived! The lad in the green stock standard 90 did it with far less fuss. Check out my YouTube channel for green laning and Land Rover "how to" videos. |

How come you've taken the mat black wrap off?

A combination of things really. It started with my discovery that the vinyl is impervious to the worst the UK's Green Lanes can throw at it. It is however not a fan of Knowesley Safari park!!!
More to follow on that!!!  Check out my YouTube channel for green laning and Land Rover "how to" videos. |

Thanks mate. The quality of the car compensates for my lack of ability! Very happy with the 110 and what it will do. Check out my YouTube channel for green laning and Land Rover "how to" videos.
