Defenders in the Wild. Let's see them.
Mild terrain I'm sure by the standards of many skilled off-roaders on here but nonetheless I had a blast today with @ADVAW8S
Airing down to light load in my Adventure tyres and even packed a shovel. (Wishful thinking. )
The snow is getting deeper. Getting to use Lo range, launch assist, and a few other doo-dads was fun.
Team Tasman, assemble!
Fresh Tracks
ll in all a great day out. The pit crew had fun in the snow.
Another couple of weeks and it will be snow mobile only for some of these spots.

Sledding Success!
Quite a fun day of sledding after a foot or so of fresh snow last night. Not another soul to be seen. We had this valley to ourselves. No other tracks save for some deer.
Deep snow seems to be well tackled with sand mode and Lo range. Especially on the climb up. The Bridgestone Blizzak tires are in their element here. Just astounding power and traction from the Defender in this deep snow. Thought I might get to use my MaxTraxx today. No luck.
Climbed up to about 3700'. Climbing is real fun but the control on the descent is simply astounding.
There is so much this truck can do. I'm sure I'm just scratching the surface. Sure is a fun itch to scratch.
Quite the river crossing.

It was a great time and I want to say thank you to Gavin C and the Pit Crew. I was driving home and had a smile from ear to ear. The Defender is just great all around. It was fun finally using the config mode for couple of sections and using the snow mode in the mountains.

I was supposed to wash the car when I got home yesterday. I couldn't bring myself to do it.
