Hello all,
new member of the forum hoping to gain from some of your expertise and experience.
I am by no means new to LandRover or travel but I am certainly new to LandRovers without a chassis and travel with children. I have booked Ferry to Santander in August 2020 and need to be in the med two weeks later so I have two weeks to explore the Pyrennes with my wife and two children (aged 4 and 2).
i am hopefully going to take in some gravel roads but must remain vigilant that I will not only be exploring with two small children but I will also not have my trusted defender for this trip. The Range Rover being chosen for its air conditioning and superior comfort when asked to travel large distances in a short time (eg. Home again)
The children are not strangers to long periods of travel in the car and have spent much time away from the tarmac. My concern with them only evolves around there inability to look after themselves should the L322 live up to its reputation for reliability and I suppose most parents desire to protect there children more than themselves.
I am looking for any help regarding preparation of the vehicle, a standard 3.6 l322, possible routes and must see places.
im not looking to ‘overland’ the vehicle but sergested arias to look at, invaluable spares etc.
im looking for routes like the tabacco road Into Andorra provided the surface remains similar to 2016.
the Rout books by Vabriction look very good but having watched some videos online some of the trails look more than I’m after but some look perfect. Hence advice on condition of routes is very helpful.
I thank you all in advance for any help and will continue reading around peoples trip reports etc.
regards, Leon
