We dont wish to preach, but sometimes, it needs to be made apparent the basic requirements of an 'off roader'.

     Ater a couple of minor incidents earlier in the year, one where a towing point failed quite catastrophically, and a second where a 4x4 turned up to 'green lane' on road tyres and did nothing but get stuck. We need to make a point.

 A vehicle must be equipped to a basic standard, It must have at the very least.

  1. Off Road Tyres.
  2. Suitable tow points- front AND rear.                   
  3. A good towrope - preferably two.      

 Also preferable, but not essential.

  1. A high lift jack.
  2. A roll bar or better still a cage,
  3. A C.B.                                 

 There are many other things that a competent off roader should carry but we won't bore you with them. Live and learn!
