    Very tight, very scratchy but a lot of fun

    A bit longer than usual this film but well worth it. I went out with a local fella and a GLASS rep on a day covering the Shropshire/Herefordshire border area. A great combination of lanes but a brilliant little group that ran through tight scratchy valleys with axle twists, big leans and...

    Chainsaw Alley - A pretty tight and technical lane

    After hearing a lot about it, I went out to film Chainsaw Alley in Shropshire at the weekend. I’m not sure the video does it justice but what a brilliantly technical lane. A bit of everything and incredibly tight almost all the way through. I think almost everyone took a few knocks...

    Charity All Terrain Course at a UK Festival

    Last weekend I got involved with the Lowrangers All Terrain course at the Northwich festival. Each year it gets that little bit better and this year instead of lots of improvised obstacles, we had a lot of professionally made steel ramps. Lots of fun and trickier to drive than you’d think. We...

    Land Rover Enthusiasts Tribute at Red Wharf Bay

    I got involved in an enthusiasts tribute event last weekend. We got permission from the harbour master to have Red Wharf Bay for the day (the birthplace of Land Rover) and had some fun in the sand. If you listen really carefully………………really carefully…………………you can almost hear the Land Rovers...

    Land Rover Girly Calendar Shoot - Part 2 - The Mud Bath

    I have been working with some friends on a fun d raising idea which is basically getting some scantily clad girls to frolic around with Land Rovers to make some sexy calendar pictures. The idea is for the profits to go to charity (as described in the video’s description) and because I make...

    Tough Terrain & Deep Water

    This is the afternoon section of a brilliant day we did recently in Bala forest. Some challenging terrain and some nice deep water. It also shows us driving up the track that when driving back down we had the accident on, so an interesting alternate look at the terrain where our mate rolled...

    Driving through an Old Logging Forest in Wales

    After all the various calamities of the day, we did actually do some miles through the forests of Bala and it's a fantastic place. Amazing scenery sprinkled with some nice little challenges. This is the morning part of the drive through rocky moorland, ancient forestry and then some brand new...

    The Dangers of Filming 4x4's in Action

    You've probably seen the kind of films I make about off roading and Green Laning. This just goes to show it doesn't always go to plan when I’m trying to get in amongst the action. https://youtu.be/-hm9dSjKBfc

    How easy it can be to roll a Defender

    I went with a group of mates for a drive around a logging forest in Bala at the weekend. Amazing scenery and fantastic tracks but not for the first time one of our guys got it badly wrong on what looked like a simple track. https://youtu.be/VHOHEQRVnpE

    Land Rover Calendar Photo shoot with a difference

    I've been making Green Laning and Land Rover based short films for a while now and I've started to work with someone on a charity calendar based around Land Rovers. Whole new experience for me but having been on site at the photo shoot last weekend and spent the day filming scantily clad...

    Climbing above the mist & into the sun around Oldham, UK

    This will be my last film of the year and the footage was shot just before the Christmas break. The Oldham area trip is our bread and butter local day out but this one was a bit more special because of the weather. The morning mist was still swirling around the towns so we got some pretty...

    Wading through forestry under the setting sun

    This is the 2nd part from a recent day I spent in Bala forest. All of this was shot in the afternoon and the last segment was great fun wading out through flooded tracks under the setting sun. A brilliant way to finish the day. http://youtu.be/ID8ABi5PumI

    Bala forest, UK - Defenders, DISCO's & Modded Jeeps

    Just done a day in Bala Forest. It’s not all extreme stuff but I love it because there are some amazing views, a fantastic mix of terrain and just the right balance so you feel challenged but aren't in constant fear of damage. You could take something nice and shiny here and, providing you...

    Simulating Green Lanes at a P&P site - Tuff Terrains

    You might have watched the other 2 films I made about the pay&play element of Tuff Terrains. We are really Green Laners and fancied that kind of terrain so the owner tailored the afternoon to that. The site has a great hillside section criss crossed with brilliant tracks and considering they...

    Tuff Terrains (UK) Pay & Play but not Wild West style

    This is a short film of the pay&play section of Tuff Terrains in Wales. It was my first visit to Tuff Terrains and it’s fair to see, that as a group, pay & play isn’t our thing but the site owner, Bernie, guides you around. This makes it feel less like a wild west pay & play and given the way...

    Tuff Terrains Green Lane/Pay & Play site in Wales

    I spent a day at this site last weekend. Pay and play isn't really my thing but I don’t mind sites that try to mimic green lane type terrain to give you that experience. I will make a video of the full day in due course but we did encounter some pretty serious obstacles that scared the hell...

    Beautiful & Easy to find Green Lanes in North Wales

    This video covers a lovely little thread of lanes that run along the Dovey Estuary. I have driven them quite a few times but I rarely make a film of them because it’s just a nice continuous track with nothing too extreme. It also seems to always be hammering down when I drive it which doesn't...

    I reckon the best Green Lane left in the UK - Machynlleth

    In my opinion this is one of the best Green Lanes left in the country because of its mix of terrain, difficulty and length. I’ll skip over the bit where I had to get my brother to drive up a section I couldn't! On this trip it had tipped it down the night before and for some reason the...

    Spooky Going’s on with Anti 4x4 Grim Reaper on the Lanes

    It’s been a while since Roger the Ramblers last outing but after popular demand I am pleased to say the sequel has arrived! Somewhat inspired by recent events out on the lanes where local pressure groups have been producing there own ‘official police notices’ in an attempt to stop vehicles...

    Land Rover All Terrain Course for Charity

    I haven’t made any films for a while because I was working on putting together an all-terrain course at a local festival. The idea was to try and mimic the kind of things we do on Green Lanes, very broadly speaking! It was a lot harder than I thought, especially with all of the health and...

    Struggling not to Damage a Shiny Discovery on the V Gulley

    This is another short film of a day in North Wales. It covers the famous V Gulley and how we took a big L200 down it and a nice shiny Discovery TD 5. The TD 5 is possibly a bit too nice for laning really and we had a few close calls getting it down without any damage...

    The Brilliant Pheasant Steps in North Wales

    This is another short video from a day in North Wales with a couple of guys new to Green Laning. The TD 5 was a bit shiny to be out laning but he managed the day with just a few scratches and definitely got the laning bug. This one is all about the Pheasant Steps and although I've done a few...

    The Badman in North Wales Getting Tricky

    Went out last weekend in North Wales with a few guys new to Green Laning. Lots of fun but the first lane up out of Llangollen that used to be our North Wales warm up lane has really washed out of late and gave us a few problems. http://youtu.be/Wz5wODnWOsM

    Machynlleth Horseshoe (B@stard Lane). My fav extreme lane

    This was by far the most challenging lane of the whole weekend and why it gets its own film. If you never do another lane then you should get to Machynlleth. An awesome stretch covering every kind of terrain you can imagine with a half dozen really tricky sections that will really test you. The...

    Nant-y-Moch to Machynlleth a link route to die for

    This is a film from a recent laning weekend we did. Often when you’re trying to navigate from one area to another you spend too much time on tarmac and in this case one of our guys reckoned he had discovered something pretty special between Nant-y-Moch and Machynlleth. It’s not all thrills...
