A bit of background we have an original site with the following local network:-
Site1
Network: 10.1.3.0/24
This network has the server locations.

A small distance away is another building we have moved into. there was already a fibre connection, so we have utilised that with some fibre to ethernet adapters.

So, we have setup two Draytek Vigor 2860's
Site 1:
LAN1
IP 10.1.3.3/24
DHCP 10.1.3.10 to 10.1.3.20
WAN2 
IP: 194.184.180.2/30
GW: 194.184.180.1 (Site 2 WAN2)

Site 2:
Has VLANS configure for different applications, trusted, security, management
VLAN1 10.180.1.0/24
VLAN2 10.180.20.0/24
VLAN3 10.180.40.0/24
VLAN4 192.168.50.0/24
WAN2 
IP: 194.184.180.1/30
GW: 194.184.180.2 (Site 1 WAN2)

Currently I'm testing to get Site 1 to communicate with Site 2 VLAN 2 10.180.20.0

I thought setting up matching static routes would work.

Site 1
Destination : 10.180.20.0
Subnet: 255.55.255.0 /24
Gateway: 194.184.180.1
Interface: WAN2

Site 2
Destination : 10.1.3.0
Subnet: 255.55.255.0 /24
Gateway: 194.184.180.2
Interface: WAN2

I enabled pings on external ports

I have laptops placed at either side getting the following IP's
Site 1 Laptop 10.1.3.10/24 GW 10.1.3.3

Site 2 Laptop 10.180.20.10/24 GW 10.180.20.1

Each laptop can ping up to the WAN2 interface port of the other sites router.

but alas just running tracert gets to the WAN2 interface of the other router and gets no further.
I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

there was already a fibre connection,

Do you mean a fibre connection between buildings (rather than a fibre WAN connection to an ISP at the new building)?

Do you have the WAN2 ports of the routers connected via that fibre?
