There’s no better feeling than taking on your favourite green lanes with the sun shining and not a care in the world – and, as we discovered, the Defender makes it better than ever. Talking of green lanes, this month’s Landy contains a step by step guide to an epic route in Mid Wales. Great landscapes, great driving – it’s one for the connoisseur. If the old 90 is more your thing than the new model, we’ve got the story of a man who prepped one as an off-road toy and also had a Discovery which he… prepped as an off-road toy.

There’s no need for off-roading to be a thing that makes you suffer, after all, is there?
