So by not sitting the traffic jam your D3 is more environmentally friendly than all the other cars that had to sit there, belching out fumes, particulates and CO2 Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Now a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300

I have a similar kind of diversion I can take on my way to work (when in Stockport) - I have used it a few times too! Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

The byway can get a bit slippy in the wet. Yes you're right anything with some ground clearance would manage (perhaps a little slower than I did Wink ).
Glad I wasn't in the Smart Roadster this morning Exclamation
