Off Road Driving
Hello. I am interested in doing some off-road driving at entry level with G Wagen. Any recommendations for Oxfordshire/Hampshire/Berkshire areas? Thanks
Great idea to collect this. It has probably been discussed and shared before, but an update would be good - it is surprisingly hard to find bona fide public tracks where this is possible. I'd suggest a google maps URL link to pinpoint where you mean when responding.
Years ago, I went up the hill here, from the B4009 near Watlington: Up Station Road and carry on up to the top road.

Not far at all, if still there. I will check when I get my G back.
Another place, near Blewbury off the A417... again if the rules/designation has not changed. Looks like it might be a motoX site now, and hence possibly private:

To do a simple river fording, there is one here that is definitely OK, going into the back of Drayton St Leonards, lear Wallingford. Hardly used (you might need to flatten some undergrowth):

Pop into the Aston Martin museum if you make it across! (and if open).
Right then, I'm off to Watlington. Not far for me.
Best wishes to all.
thanks, will have a shot near Watlington!
If there any meets in this area, pl. let me know. would be good to do a bit of off roading with other GW drivers.
