Pradog features a 3.4 litre V6 engine and a 4-speed auto box, and I was uncertain just how he would perform on a trail. He already had a n OME suspension fitted when I bought him.
Like I needed to worry...
The trail is certainly not that technical but does contain some interesting obstacles, rated at 1 - 3, I would suppose. Pradog handled everything that we tackled with zest and was indeed a pleasure to drive. There are some 4 - 5 different trails, we covered about two and a half, we did not attempt the marsh because it was very wet from the constant rain we've had lately.
Our first trip was around lunchtime and we took a camera with for the pics. Unfortunately, the camera battery was deader than a door mouse, so we did the trails without taking any pictures. Then we went home for lunch while recharging the battery, and returned about 3PM that afternoon, and here we did manage to take some pics:
First part of trail, WF attempted in 2WD but got stuck and J had to clamber out in the mud to lock the hubs (He's a LR driver, so we forgive him for that
). Pradog just sailed through without any problems in Low Ratio 2.

All in all we had a fab time and Jacques even took his LR there for some exercise this morning. PraDog impressed me no end and I now know that he will go anywhere that White Fang can go.
Score 10/10!
