Bought Total Off Road, yup, the issue with Pauls Zuk in.

However at the back there is a route in the dales round Bainbridge and Hawse. Was going out yesterday but had a family meal to go to so went with my Dad today. The magazine does say suitable for lone vehicles so we set off in the one Zuk, bearing the weather in mind.

Most of it was fine, mainly gravel tracks, one ford. Unfortunately the snow went from none existant to 3ft deep. Where is was impassable and having only one Zuk we didn't was to get stuck we turned round or took a diversion.

Supposed to turn down there

Literally a mile off Hawse where the route ends, another right hand turn with 3ft of snow.

I'm just waiting to get more photos off my Dad.

Overall a good day. The routes not dangerous of bogging. Mainly gravel and hardcore tracks, just a nice drive out sorta route. When it warms up and all the snow goes gonna go up and do it all.

Looks cracking.

The middle photo is great but also good for an example of how some cropping or different framing to start with can totally change an images composition so I had to crop it

Few more snaps showing how extreme the snow was. From none to 3ft as far as we could see.

Paint to be ordered next weekend! It'll all be one colour soon. I'm leaning to Massey Furguson red.
