If anyone is interested I am going to Tixover on 2nd of Jan

£25 a car.

Testing out my AT's 15MY SDV8 Vogue SE

Pay and play day ?

If so... take it easy.
As they are unstructured I've done far too much damage to Defenders "just seeing what it'll do".

Make sure you wash Tixover mud off straight away. It sets like concrete and it will do damage...make special attention to your belts and anything in the engine bay with bearings

Stay away from the back of the site too (to the left as you drive in)

Other than that, have fun and keep an eye out for the other drivers, as Tixover is a free for all..... Land Rover Addict

Thank you.
Will take it VERY easy, I certainly do not want to damage my car.
Are taking my mates Jeep too so we can "Challenge" that. 15MY SDV8 Vogue SE

Take plenty of photos to post on here. 
Gone - Range Rover Supercharged 2006

I've only ever been to Tixover in the summer months, it's a nightmare as the dried mud is like concrete as previously mentioned. Very harsh if you're driving across it etc.

Fingers crossed though it'll be rainy and nice and slippy for you to play. 

Rained all day today down here.
So will be fun.
If I don't reappear you'll know I broke it. 15MY SDV8 Vogue SE

We had great time abit curtailed by the kids wanting Lunch.

Was very impressed by the car. I know it's ment to go up steep muddy hills but still did wow me.

Will post up pictures on Tuesday.

Enjoyed the reactions from the 'Proper' off road crew, "you're not taking THAT in there are you?"
"Yes we are!!" 15MY SDV8 Vogue SE

I got similar comments when i took my FFRR trialling.
Very capable vehicles if you allow for the overhang on the back.

It makes me smile when I get the same reaction as Jem got - happened to me when I took my 3 weeks old TD6 on a gentle forest drive in 2003, for my troubles I got to take a journo from LRM magazine round one of the special stages - folks though I was mad, I got flamed on the LRE forum when somebody posted that I had smashed up the front end (I hadn't broken anything on the car but some bramble rash did stick to it!) - I have never experienced such jealousy over a car before. The most vocal were the Defender owners................... mainly because t6he L322 went everywhere they went (except into the bonnet covering water) on standard M&S tyres and didn't require pulling out once unlike some of them. My attitude to offroading is that the car is meant to do it so why not take it where it is designed to go - I certainly wouldn't take it into some of the rocky and muddy places I take my Defender into - that would be crazy, and it is about 6" too wide to take to most of the places in the forests I go off roading because of where the tracks go between trees, so what is the point of even trying to go there and stripping panels off, not just lightly scratching paint!. If I were at home now I would be putting the GY MTR's on in a couple of weeks and journeying south to join in the Forest Drives advertised here for the Keilder Forest, it was brilliant fun in the snow there last year - the course was specifically set out to be a very good compromise of challenging and non-damaging - even the D3 guys don't like to intentionally damage their cars off road and where some of them take their cars I would be worried about taking my 15 year old Def90, let alone the FFRR 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

A few Pictures.
No really very muddy but early on in the day.
