Have recently bought 1988 paj 2500 td intercooler and want to try greenlaning.... Have never done it so would like to know if anybody around the area knows of any greenlanes in the area and if they would show me the ropes as don't want to go alone for obvious reasons.... |

hi i'm up in Shaw this thursday friday ! do you have a local O/S map handy, i dont mind poping out for a few hrs while i'm up there thursday or friday evening...
have you got the equipment for G/Lane's ie ropes, hand winch, etc, ( i cant bring much due to space ) if not we could always drive some less chalenging lanes.
let me know ASAP....

no worries i'll bring rope and shacles ( just in case )
need the O/S map, look at the key on the side and try to find some of the ( -+-+-+-+ Byway open to all traffic ! )
these will be ok to drive and be off road surface.
or this---> . . . . . . . . . Other route with public access (not normaly shown in urban areas)).
these will give you a taste of what it like.
your job before you go any place is try to engage your 4 wheel drive, better make sure it works b4 you go off road !! and get stuck..
if you do not know how to do it, use the serch on here before you move any gearsticks |
