I had a weekend away at a big off road site in Drumclog - a few miles south of Glasgow. Quite muddy in places. I had one big stuck which filled one of my wheel hubs with mud and the hub seal was dead by the time I got home. I put a new one in last weekend.
You can play "spot the Volvo" in one of them. The full set is at:

Hi Andy. The byway in these pictures runs along the Vallum - a Roman ditch-plus-bank earthwork which was constructed to the south of the main wall. You can see it just to the left of the track on the second photo and on the right hand side of the "unsuitable for motor vehicles" one. The wall itself can be seen in the first photo - it runs along the top of the Whin Sill crags. The other thing that you can just about see in that photo is a tree growing in the gap between the two rock faces. This tree, at "sycamore gap", is quite famous as it was used as a location for the Robin Hood film which starred Kevin Kostner.
The Vallum shows up really well in this next photo. I'm on the byway. The uneven ground in the foreground is the remains of the earthworks. The wall is on the ridgeline in the distance, although you can't see it from this angle.
It might be greener here but I bet it's warmer in Texas!

I think most Aussies would kill for grass that green given the current drought!
BTW...Maybe you should have some stickers made that you can add to those signs:
"Unsuitable for motor vehicles"
Except Pinzgauers
