Thanks

Don't forget your bucket and spade in case you fall off the pier

(nice to see another local surf owner)

A map. Wellies. A friend in another 4x4 is usefull at times. A selection of tow ropes, 4 tonne straps & bow shackles. A chainsaw (or big bow saw will do) for fallen tree, branch & other obstruction removal! Some cash (£50) to pay a farmer for a tow out!

One bit of kit I never go off road without now is my Kinetic Energy Recovery Rope (KERR) - great bit of kit for pulling your mates (or being pulled) out of the real sticky stuff.

Reasonably expensive (especially once you add on bridles/shackles) but well worth it if you are doing anything more than green laning.

Like anything, just make sure you read up on how to use it safely a good start is here:
