Freelander 2 - Wild Welsh Weekend (Episode 2) - A Video by Joel Self - Outdoor Instructor

[@ALL_4_WHEELS]

Brilliant video!! Enjoy watching the freelander on the welsh lanes!!

[@clivebowen4339]

Really enjoyed watching your channel. I lived in the village around the hill from Elan Village so know the area well. Had a 2008 Freelander2 for the past 12 years and have used it regularly over New Forest Tracks - not serious off roading but it gets me where I need to go without any drama. Like all good Land Rovers it's been battle scared but goes like a tank🙂.

Loved this series/trip, great!

[@freelander2_litelander]

Nice to watch this again 1 year on.

One of the best series of UK green laning videos on KZbin 💚 ➡ and possibly one of the longest routes. Wales looks like the last frontier for a decent off road route in the UK, with Scotland banning unpaid green laning and English with it's eco laws. Good video Joel. You'd love the Pyrenees and Catalonia in general

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Thank you @Easy4x4, lovely to read this!

[@MrAndreCoutinho]

Wise decision to bring along someone in a Toyota as a rescue vehicle 😂

[@jimhartland1939]

Definitely have to join up with on the next one. Done my drive shafts and brake upgrade and lift kit over the weekend only to have the haldex start playing up again. It's a love hate relationship with these trucks

[@tonyjohnson7894]

Joel, thanks and great memories of being back in wales, as from liverpool originally, but now down in melbourne!! I love your front set up with the light protectors and winch, as I have a Freelander 2 2013, I would love to see if I can get something similar again thanks

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Hi Tony! Thank you for your kind comment. Im so pleased to hear you enjoyed the video. There are some other bits and pieces on my channel about the FL2 - this video (a modifications tour) might be of particular interest to you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/onaqq5SVqMxrkKM Unfortunately its now a fair bit outdated, despite being only just a year old - she's had a lot of work put into her during the last 12-15months! Anyway, all the best, and thanks again for watching! 😁👍🚜

[@Freelander2AdventuresSA]

Great video Joel... Hope if I ever get the chance to go up to the UK to meet up with you guys

Os free lander sao maravilhosos

[@FelipePeixoto1991]

Nice vid, can you tell me what are your tyre dimentions? It looks really great, and also if you did lift it a bit, or it wasnt needed. Thanks!

[@abdeljalilking1]

Salut, je voudrais savoir le numéro des pneus qu'il est sur le landrover freelander 2

[@jonathanbutler2731]

cracking! :)

[@SuperRoverboy]

Not gunna lie....... I now want tree guards on my x-trail 😆

[@xtrailsextra]

how did you sleep comfortable in your freelander ime 5ft 11 inches and was in wales i was lucky to get 2 hours sleep worth it for the views and scenery though will do it again this time we a tent. And use my Freelander as an emergency leaky tent alternative.

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Thanks for the question "XTrails Extra"! Im 5ft 8in so fit very comfortably in the back of my FL2. (I assume from your channel name that you're in an XTrail? It may just be the different design that causes you issues in yours.) I have on occasion slept 3 adults in the back of mine on trips where weather or location mean that being under canvas is not a viable option. I use a climbing bouldering matt and a couple pillows, duvet etc and the whole rear load space can be used as one large and very comfortable sleeping platform - just pop your sleeping bag on top and 1,2 or 3 of you can easily get a good nights kip in the back. 👍

[@xtrailsextra]

@@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor my old car was a nissan xtrail but my new one is a freelander to be honest with you i did wales in my xtrail and at least another 6 inches longer in the back than my freelander. but i will do it again great channel by the way glad i found you.

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Thanks @@xtrailsextra 👍

[@richylad]

Hi , the first lane you went along, I have been through there a couple of times in the last couple of weeks as i only live half hour drive away, is it accepted that the signs by the bridge can be ignored do you know? Cheers Richard

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Hi Richard I assume you mean the little wooden bridge on the 'missing link' (western end of Claerwen reservoir), this section of lane is only accessible on a permission basis from the Elan Vally Trust. - Permission is easily achieved but is granted on a one-off basis and they'll require information on what date you'll be using the lane and the size of your convoy. To the best of my knowledge you can apply for permission as many times as you wish. I hope that all helps. 👍

[@richylad]

@@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor excellent, that 100% helps, I have requested to join your FB group also, just gradually watching your other vids 👍🏻

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Great stuff Richard we look forward to having you in the group! Enjoy the videos, feel free to share! (Feedback is always welcome too!)

[@overlandingwolf]

still prefer these longer form video's bud - looks like a cracking trip

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Really Glad to hear it Tim! Hopfully they'll be more to come. - Certainly one more episode like this and then other projects coming up! 😁👍

[@steveschofield9243]

What tyres are you running pal

[@Alan-fv1or]

where did you get your upgraded shocks from?

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

They are bilstein B6's, supplied by MuddyMods for me. 👍

[@Alan-fv1or]

@@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor thanks mate.

[@tonydonaghy2640]

Hi Joel

[@equaliser2265]

Land rovers are meant to have scratches and dents.

[@morris3682]

Mouai vidéo sympa mais une 2 cv ou une 4 L aurait fait le même travail Je m attendais à du vrai franchissement

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Dans ce cas, je suis d'accord avec vous, ces voies étaient faciles à emprunter. Si vous regardez l'épisode un de cette série, vous verrez une utilisation plus extrême des véhicules et un bon exemple de l'endroit où d'autres camions comme le CRV ne peuvent pas aller. J'ai utilisé google translate pour cela, donc mes excuses si peu de sens peut être fait.

[@morris3682]

@@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor la traduction est parfaite c est moi qui suis désolé de ne pas vous répondre dans votre langue Je vais m intéresser à l episode 1 J ai moi-même un free lander td4 depuis peu de temps et je veux savoir ces limites En tous cas merci pour votre réponse et vos vidéos

[@JoelSelfOutdoorInstructor]

Mon plaisir, l'épisode un est lié ici : kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWrZhqWdg5KMj80 Si vous êtes intéressé par le freelander 1, il vaut peut-être mieux consulter le VLOG de MuddyWeekender lié ici : kzbin.info/www/bejne/boW4qnSeoNN-qrc Tous mes vœux!

Nice to watch this again 1 year on.
