Land Rover Alcaraz prerun 2012

 Some of us in the Land Rover Club, did a pre-run of the Alcaraz route, we have planned for a little later in the year. This is just a little preview of what you could expect in this fantastic route.

It's going to be cold, really cold, as you can see dress accordingly and expect to see frozen vegetation all around.


Expect to get stuck, specially if you don't have enough clearance, some ruts are deep. We got this RRC back on track in no time.

 Expect your kids and dogs, to go wild with the snow and the ice (pack extra clothes and towels they'll get wet), it's fun!!!

 This is one of the spots we located perfect for lunch, sunny...

 ... views of la Mancha all around...
 ... and places to explore for the kids and animals.

This is another spot, perfect to see the whole "sierra", if weather permits (it's very high), this is a perfect place ...
 ...plenty of snow (be careful, you'll get some snowballs, like I did)...
 ... magnificent views.
 Some of the roads on the dark side of the montains will have snow, with the occasional iced spot.

 And of course, expect your truck to return a little dirty and you with a big smile.
We love Alcaraz and its sierra.
The mods I did on the truck work great, great clearance, perfect articulation and strong grip on all terrains.
