Is the bombing range open to anyone, or is it still trespassed if caught?

A mate of mine has been trespassed from woodhill for posting vids on youtube. He didnt say where, just murawai, I wonder if it was from being up the bombing range.

What sort of "mud"? Sunday drives or competitions?

I would probably start with the Escudo - lift it, put mud tyres and recovery points and drive it lots. Whatever breaks or holds you back you make stronger or change.
