look under the drivetrain, decoupler, and wheels section
look half way down the page and you will find the mefro wheels for about 55euro each, nige it may be worth talking to nick (footstuck) as you not that far away from each other and you could save on the post, if you were to order a set. there will probobly be a couple of outher people intrested in them as well
as of m/t or a/t i have been out with box standard discoverys with road tyres on and they managed fine on the surrey lanes, so not a must but the gripyer tyre will always make your like a little easyer.

Myself, Jake and Russel went out this same weekend last year so this is pretty much exactly what you will be driving.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6lo9Jg8j3Q
If some are thinking of coming from further afield and there isnt to many, I know of a few wild camping spots on route. It would be no tents though I am afraid but we could have a fire, cook up etc.

Glad to see it won't be remotely challenging or scratchy in anyway I'd best get it back in one piece and some driving practice in

Re: surrey lanes any one?
it's no more than we were doing in wales but there is a little foliage on the side of the lanes. i think that jeds vid is one of the few that shows what it is like, normaly it dose not look as a bad as it it. you will be fine with the same tyres that you had in wales.

Re: surrey lanes any one?
so can we meet at this car park at 9.30am, i dont know what people would like to do for lunch but if there are a few of us we would be better bringing lunch with us and eating in the woods as per lunch in wales, as lunch in the can take a long time if there is a few of us, i will bring our cooker and i think there will be a couple of campers so may be there will be some more tea making? could people please confirm if they will be coming along so that we are not waiting around at the car park all day,
