Bear with me, not used this before so not sure if I have posted this correctly.
I am the driver and owner in both those video's (I didn't record or post either but do not object to them being public)
Despite similarities they are two different Range Rovers, both met sticky ends.
The one titled Diff Break Hill was simply named because on a previous visit I shredded a rear diff getting up it and had to reverse all the way back down with front wheel drive only. The trip was purely for fun, to get to a redundant mine at the top of the slag heap, the place is local to me and access is not a problem, nobody else would know where to find it from the video.
The second is on a legal right of way used occasionally by motorcycles, I am led to believe nobody had ever managed to get a 4 wheel vehicle down it before (or since to my knowledge). I wont be specific with its location. Contrary to smart arsed and un-informed opinion, when the video was taken the vehicle was taxed, insured and MOT'd. A rather sweeping presumption on somebodies part there. For information, every panel was damaged, one window was broken and all lights except the headlamps where broken on that lane. For the 200 miles journey home the lights were gaffa taped back together and the panels re-attatched where necessary, I continued to use the Range Rover on the road fully legally for several months after.
Why did I attempt it? simple, somebody bet me it couldn't be done, do I have to explain myself to anybody? no I don't. Was it fun? damn right it was. Was it expensive? probably, I lost about a =A3100 between buying the Range Rover and selling it on many months later.
For many years I have used Range Rovers to get to difficult and remote places (not least home) without hassle or hindrance, I have never been stopped and I have never upset anybody apart from ramblers who seem to believe they have the right to be obnoxious. I travel many places that have 4x4 and motorcycle bans, I care not. I am completely unrepentant and don't give a fig. I don't trespass on private land (if I want to cross it, I ask, usually without a problem) but I do consider public owned land fair game. As for anti's, I could not care less. Terrible attitude isn't it? Round here, the odd person travelling across the fell in a Range Rover is not a problem, convoy's of vehicles in organised groups are extremely unpopular. I avoid shooting land in season and leave little trace of my passing. I know many of the local gamekeepers and never have any problems. So you may all consider yourselves as having had a quiet word, you may also consider yourself firmly rebuffed. Perhaps assumption should play no part in comments made about the activities of those you do not know?
