Me and my friends enjoy going Greenlaning which is driving on ancient untarmacked roads and byways, these old roads go back as far as the roman era, as it was them who started the modern road network as we know it today in Britain. We also visit Pay and Play sites were can be more adventurous with our Trucks. These are often on private land purposely built for 4x4 offroading etc.

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There are so many highway bound posers that never go off the pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in Iceland is really refreshing.

It is fun to read about other people's Offroading adventures and also learning from the up and downs of their adventure!
