Offroading in the Swiss Jura

I took my Disco 3 for a day out into the fields. I wanted her (OK, I admit - me too) to experience what it takes to drive offroad. We (now that's my wife and me) were in Ederswiler, which is in the Swiss Jura.
Here are a few impressions of the day. Which by the way was dry and warm - so not really challenging conditions.

Well, off we are



On to an easy downhill passage



Over a tiny bridge (water passage below)



Rocking my baby



Not a lot of water in that passage under the bridge



Now this was the most amazing part of all!!!! Steeeep, huge pits just before and after the top, an almost 90 degree bend to the left on top. The car in the picture is the instructor's Defender 90.

Indeed! I mean I knew that it would be great offroad. But to sit in there and see the car climb a 35° hill on idle - blows your mind really!
I thoroughly enjoyed the day and I might go on to an advanced training in northern Italy. I've been infected with the offroad virus Very Happy
