Land Rovers Wading Down Violets Lane - Furneux Pelham

[brookyagb]

I remember driving down this lane as a kid in my dads Peugeot 505 and the water came over the bonnet and just under the windows. Not sure he knew what he was doing!! Seem to remember it had water in the doors for months.

Me and my dad are hopefully having a go on this lane on Saturday a long as my knee surgery goes well.

I'll be on my 1979 Kawasaki kl250 and my dad on his Yamaha xt600.

Been sort of dry recently so fingers crossed...

[arnie2601]

[Mudcred]

This brings back memories, worse conditions than these in an l200 with no snorkel, very, very nearly killed it! gd vid btw :)

[adseybear]

Great Video.

Might have to pay that a visit one day. Even with my snorkel, I dont know if I'd be brave enough.

[alisuber2]

what is the best car to do this in. I am thinking of getting a fourtrak. what would you say about them? are they good for wading

[HookDisco]

Violets Lane

looks more like

Violets CREEK

I like how ea Rovers bow wave puts more water into the next section.

[alisuber2]

Ha we did this in a a tractor with a grain cart on

[lrdiscoveryII]

[Discovery2TD5]
