What shocks have you got?
I would think that if you had the same spring and damper ratings as before the roll shouldn't have increased, maybe the shock you have fitted have much softer damping...
I know that of the ones Gwyn sells the Old man EMU and the Terrafirma have quite firm damping - the others are much softer.
60 mile trip for some lanes is nothing at all!
Stop being lazy - plan a local 'expedition', get your family, food, a camping stove in the back. Plan a long days worth of driving to take in some beautiful lanes and great views.
If at the end of that you still don't know why you want the Defender..... then, as FridgeFreezer said, sell it and move on.
Go out and play on some lanes - take in some amazing views and challenge yourself on the routes - perhaps then you'll think 'nothing else could do this' and 'I should do this more often' ?
Having missed the forum trip I'm planning a trip into Derbyshire with a couple of friends to explore the lanes. Would someone who knows them please take a few minutes to check them over for me? Just to confirm my direction of travel is ok and so on.
I've compiled a list and could pm or email it to someone already familiar with them? I've listed the start and finish of each route using the bdcc site (x marks the spot) so it should be fairly simple to check.
I've checked here on peak park sensitive routes list and am fairly certain non are on the list I've made.

With the td to tdi you only need a downpipe - but I thought that I'd read that with na to tdi you needed a whole system with the na pipe being too small a diameter?
These look nice - but very expensive...
These are much cheaper but its not clear what they are from? Rover Coupe?
In fact, there are loads of them !....
