Playing in Wales

Nice to see what the car could do in a bit of mud and gravel. Thanks to http://www.motor-safari.co.uk for a nice day!

Looks like you enjoyed yourself.
One tip............ Close windows before entering water, mud or loose gravel - once inside the car they make a hell of a mess - Evoque can spin a wheel even with all the fancy electronics.
A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

This is not good advice imho. Windows are opened if they are electric in case the car bogs down in the water and the electrics fail. Open windows allow you out although the downside of course, as pointed out, is that they allow the dirt in. I value my life over a clean car and always go into water with them open.

Don't go to Peckforton in Cheshire. It's boring. Apparently skipton is good and a Landrover instructor at Gaydon told me that Eastnor in Herefordshire is the best

I always carry one of those little glass breaker hammers in my car. It has a seatbelt cutter on it as well
