simonpelly Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Hi Folks, Looking to plan a wild camping trip with the kids on Dartmoor along with some climbing. Thinking it would be great to throw into the mix some off road in our 1997 Defender 110. Nothing too adventurous as not really done anything much off road at all. Sluggie is also way too shiny for thorny narrow lanes. Just looking for something that the kids would find fun. Please could folk recommend some routes/sections/etc.... Many Thanks, Simon... P.S. Including myself as one of the kids along with my 9yr lad and 12yr daughter. Edited May 26, 2017 by simonpelly Submit too early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkyWilkie Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Funnily enough I'm looking at planning the exact same thing with my kids, though probably even less adventurous with a Freelander, and a 4 year old and 6 year old... Will follow this closely, as my initial cursory research hasn't led to too much result yet. Mind you I only got her a few days ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 You'll only find greenlaning in South Devon, which are thorny, narrow lanes(!) There's a couple on Dartmoor but they're pretty tame and over in a matter if minutes. It's not really the location for offroading. There used to be a pay and play site at Trago Mills, but I think it's closed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilkyWilkie Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Sounds perfect for a freebie then ? I know there was one not far from Crealy, not researched if it's been tro'd or downgraded yet though. And there's plenty of not suitable for motors roads kicking around too - I got my company Sportage stuck in mud to the bottom of the door sills for a weekend until a friendly farmer from down the road dragged it out with his Massey.

darthdicky Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Not sure if I’ve seen this too late but I’ve done a variety of lanes round Devon. There’s one or two nice ones on Dartmoor that aren’t scratchy. The one next to Crealey is fun but can get overgrown and the water can be deep at times, depends what you’re taking through there!
