Hi Again ..

I did the BORDA course at Whitecliff, Coleford, yesterday (in one of their Disco's). Very enjoyable and interesting.

They also gave me the chance to take my XC70 in some pretty muddy areas and I was impressed with how well it coped. Bryn, from Whitecliff seemed to be as well.
The main problem would be ground clearance compared to the Disco (it also has a longer wheelbase at 110" compared to 100") and the lack of a low range. Volvo would never claim it as an off-roader but I'd be less hesitant in going a bit off the main track, if I had to.
