Superb day "far from the madding crowd", driving through fords, meadows, woods and quaint villages. Bountiful supply of wildlife, flora and great company. In true Dorset GLASS style, a nice eclectic mix of vehicles again. Thanks to Rob Elliott for the route which included yet another Dorset lane I have never driven. Great company and banter as usual with perfect weather. Thanks to all that made the day so special. Explorer Merv
Explorer Merv can't wait for the extended weekend so fish & chip supper with a sunset to celebrate the beginning of an Easter of lanes.
Looking forward to a long weekend & of course some lanes. @dorsetdaciadriver @hendygroup @westover_group @greenlaneassociation @dacia_uk #dacia #daciaduster #smileandwave
We respectfully ask all users of the old roman road from Dolwyddelan to Capel Curig please in future make sure all gates along the route are closed.
Even if found open.
These are all boundary gates between farms and the risk of cross contamination between sheep flocks is unavoidable when left open.
Also retrieving wandering sheep from the forestry area is also time consuming and costly to the farmers.
Many thanks.
North Wales Green Lane Association.
We've been preaching this all along with our unmodified Dusters driving some of the Green lanes in the UK that were considered only 'Land Rover' and the mainstream heavy 4x4's territory, now it's becoming more accepted that the Duster, well... Rocks in the 4x4 world!The British love an underdog.
"The Dusters received interesting reactions from other competitors in their highly modified desert rally cars, many couldn't believe our Dusters were largely unmodified; all thought we would struggle, but we proved them wrong and found the Dusters were fantastic in the dunes" Grant White

Congratulations to Future Terrain for completing the Carta Rallye with the All-New Duster!
Top advice for ExplorersWhile the weather improves day by day and more of us choose to get out and enjoy it we need to consider our environment.
Many green lanes cross farm land that is home to livestock. It is vitally important that we drive and act appropriately to avoid distress, loss of animals, or in extreme cases even injury or death.
When driving in close proximity to livestock always:
* Close gates after you
* Drive slowly, stop as and when you need to
* Avoid making loud unnecessary noises
* Only drive on permitted land
* Take any litter home with you
* Report any loose/distressed/injured animals to the land owner or local authority
* Keep dogs in your vehicle or on a lead
* Report illegal or irresponsible driving/activity to the police
Farmers are the custodians of our countryside, respect their working environment and help keep our lanes open for all by driving responsibly.
