New member LJ 80 addict. Soon in UK

Post by freezuk » Wed Feb 08, 2017 1:15 pm

Hello everybody,

I m Xavier from Belgium but I m living in Switzerland. I m a Suzuki LJ 80 addict, I restore one of them. My grand-father was Peugeot-Suzuki retailer. I'll post some pictures later.

I move to uk in april near Coventry.

I would like to go to my job by bicycle and have a Suzuki Jimny to discover the Uk and countryside during the weekend.

My main question is:

Is it possible to drive in offroad (on track, not trought everything) and wild camping in UK? No destroy the track but discover countryside relax and sleep under a tent.

I would like a Jimny but if it s only to drive on the road it isn’t interesting

Sorry for my English but I m not fluent for the moment

hello and welcome :welcome: there are many off road tracks for you to explore here in the uk. unfortunately you will find that most land is owned by somebody and wild camping is not really permitted here anymore. unless you get the land owners permission you will get moved on.
