Fun in a Discovery &#8211; not so much fun in a Nissan Primera in full downpour. I had the kids with me and the track was a rutted river cutting through some woodland and steep slopes (&#8220;Dad, what is that noise?&#8221; \u00a0instead of &#8220;Are we there yet..&#8221;). Not advisable to take roads marked as Unsuitable for Motors &#8211; especially in a Primera. I have drivensome rough tracks and\u00a0bad roads across the world from Southern Africa to the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates &#8211; so a little lane in Somerset should be achievable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So Ithought I would share some of my various GPS and non-GPS adventures, review some SatNav enabled devices and explore the rights of way and driveable tracks in the UK. I&#8217;ll get others to share their &#8216;trips&#8217; too and compare notes.<\/p>\n<p>So this is the start. We&#8217;ll post here great drives, green lanes and tracks &#8220;Unsuitable for Motors&#8221; that you can try (or avoid) for yourselves.
