Land Rover in the line-up. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have eaten so much as we headed back to tackle the trails immediately after lunch. As the afternoon hours passed ever so quickly, our instructors encouraged us to pick and choose the obstacles, instructing us only when we were nearing danger. Suddenly, it was someone’s bright idea to swap vehicles, extracting me from Land Rover’s flagship model and placing me at the controls of an LR2. After the initial shock of off-roading in the only current Land Rover lacking both EAS and low range, I began to enjoy maneuvering the LR2, to the point of admiring its off-road capabilities. Aside from its inability to clear only a couple tall obstacles that would have high-centered it due to its lack of EAS, the LR2 went everywhere the other Land Rovers did and its diminutive size made navigating between trees effortless. Piloting the LR2 was much better than expected, but the next vehicle was simply awesome. The Range Rover Sport seemed more Park Avenue, Manhattan, than Park in Field, Vermont, but I loved it. As with the LR2, my assumptions were proven wrong. It enabled me to drive anywhere and everywhere on the course with the greatest of ease. Sporting more of a positive outlook with each vehicle, my final conquest was the LR3, a vehicle I normally associate with hauling small children both to and from the elementary school across the street from my house. The LR3 stood proudly alongside its brethren, showing me it too could tackle any terrain. When I first laid my eyes on the Land Rovers we’d be driving, adorned in their large diameter aluminum wheels, I’ll admit I thought the terrain would be far tamer than it actually was. Land Rover’s current model line-up surpassed my highest expectations and left me feeling that “go anywhere” is still top priority at Solihull. Solid axles, steel wheels and a forest of levers emanating from the floor are no longer the tools necessary for proper off-roading. Thanks to the Land Rover Experience Driving School at The Equinox and especially Josh, Chuck, Cortland and Rick. Thanks to Matt Martin for photographing the adventure. Oh, by the way, Matt, my apologies for leaving you behind on the trail. My enthusiasm for driving took over my better judgement and manners as I drove off, abandoning you in the woods on more than one occasion. Wow, I hope he didn’t take a photo of that!
