Salisbury Plain 4x4 Imber Village Green Laning January 2023

My first trip onto the Plain in 2023, guided by our usual host Paul from Salisbury Plain 4x4 Wiltshire Byways ( / 1173741872719376 ).
It was a wet few days leading up this trip so it was more wading than driving.
Some of the photos and footage were taken by others in the group.
I'm driving 2008 Mitsubishi L200 Raging Bull with 2" body lift, OME Front shocks with 2” lift, heavy duty rear leaf springs + 2” extending shackle, ARB front and rear air lockers and BGF AT tyres.

Awesome video buddy

[@anthonybaiocchi3028]

You boys are awefully brave going out there alone without a Toyota backup vehicle! 😉

[@RagingBellLaning]

We had two Isuzu trucks with us to try and make up for this.

@@RagingBellLaning haha, just a bit of banter. Loved my TD5 Defender.

Great vid big old place the plains!!! I guess would take good couple days to get around??

[@RagingBellLaning]

This is my fourth time out with Paul and it’s been a new route every time. Rarely have we driven the same track twice.

[@4x4pickupadventures]

Big place and plenty to explore!

Hi buddy what camera set up do you use on your bonnet do you have it bolted down or anything as it don't seem to move when hit by a wall of water lol good video was there myself the other day 👍🏼 keep up the good work

[@RagingBellLaning]

GoPro 8 on a standard mount with the 3M sticky stuff. There is no moving those things! Originally I’d used some cord as a secondary securement but don’t bother now as it’s taken hell of a punishment and survived. Thanks for watching.

Will you recommend Mitsubishi shogun sport over disco if coming purely to Off road capability?

[@RagingBellLaning]

I have a Mitsi L200 which I am immensely impressed with, even as stock, but I have had to modify it to keep up with the Discos, and even then the Mitsi just doesn’t have the ground clearance they do and have found myself grounded where they haven’t been.

First why recover in reverse? And second never use a shackle to connect to straps 10:00

[@RagingBellLaning]

I barely made it half way through that “puddle” so a rear recovery was the better option; shorter distance to drag me back out. And I 100% agree hard shackles shouldn’t have been used to connect the straps. Had I been thinner, I’d have got out via the window and found my soft shackles in the back. I’ll be better prepared next time.

Hello mate, looking to do some lanes up in Salisbury I dont suppose you could send me over this route youve done :) cheers

[@RagingBellLaning]

Hi, I would really recommend joining this FB group for information on the Plain - en-gb.facebook.com/groups/1173741872719376/ A route used today more than likely wouldn’t be accessible tomorrow due to the MOD schedule for firing times.

[@4x4pickupadventures]

Was that disco on road tyres?

[@RagingBellLaning]

I’m not sure but the twitching of the rear end made for good entertainment.
