Does anyone know of anywhere i can take my Delica for a nice run off road ? I have looked for a few suitable places but had no joy and this is rather frustrating as i Can't get to see the true potential of my van.

If anyone knows of suitable sights around the gosport area (hampshire) then all ideas/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

cheers people Jay Twisted Evil

Hi, Rule two for beginners is do not venture too far off-road by yourself. It is wise to buy a good proper tow rope/strop with shackles etc. Keep a good spade on board. Wellies are good Wink

. A stout piece of plywood to spread the load of the jack if whoa betide you get a puncture on soft ground. Obviously a whacking great winch, ground anchors etc would also be nice. If I know I'm going to do hard off-roading I will take my hi-lift jack + a small hand winch. Go on one of the club off road days is the best way to get acquainted with it. Make it known you're a novice and the leaders will take care of you and guide you etc.
There are loads of sites out there. Try this one: http://www.offroadroutes.net/Pages/overview_guide/overview.asp

Oh and by the way, Rule one is Have fun Wink
