Yarwell is excellent for having a dabble. Lots of terrain to choose from but be careful of the water - it gets very deep, very quickly so watch others first to see how deep a given section is. We watched a D2 get stuck (and dead) in a deep section only a couple of yards from where we had crossed at a foot deep. Needed two vehicles in tandem to drag it out.
Be careful of the occasional nutters who think off roading should be done at 100mph. Otherwise it's a good location. My RRS followed a friend's Defender around all day. Only one obstacle I declined because it would have hung up on the rear bumper. Managed some climbs first time where he had to take several goes at it. Impressed him, that's for sure.

We didn't see anyone take that route so I didn't risk it, although I'm aware of where your picture was taken. Discretion being the better part of valour and all that.
We were elsewhere on the other side of the large central lake when we watched a chap quietly drive in and get stuck. He wasn't even trying to be stupid, he just picked the wrong spot.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Yep, I would bot normally chance it. On the LRO days though there is a marked track through which should be safe for any vehicle. Apparently not long after I went through an evoke made it😅Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

If you go to yarwell check on here first to see who else is going. If you cannot find a thread start one. Normally a few members go, I've been up there two or three times.
Do take a spare, preferably full size.Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders
