green laning driving speed

Most of the time I would say that my speed is no greater than jogging speed, so maybe 10mph max.

I'd rather go a little slower and not damage my vehicle, than go faster and damage it, or the terrain, or have some walker / horse rider complain about my driving getting me a S32 or the lane closed to vehicles.
 
As a slight aside was is the actual speed limit on most green lanes? I would assume due to their location it would mostly be NSL? (National Speed Limit)

As irresponsible as it might be a landy navigating the green lanes round here at 60 mph would be a spectacular sight to see. Don't think he'd get very far though :D
 
Not sure but have a recollection that they're 30 mph because they're not maintained roads.

Mind, if I had a Bowler Wildcat ... ;)
 
Bear in mind it's not always land rovers that drive too fast...

All the gear, no idea springs to mind .. shame he didn't go through the hedge at about 2:50 ish ... ;)
 
I like to take my time, no point causing unecessary damage to your vehicle and the lane. I generally don't go over 15mph and just enjoy the scenery. Always try and talk to the horse riders and walkers, I've even had some recommend other lanes to me!!!
 
I've only had the pleasure of greenlaning twice (so far, lots more to come) and don't think I looked at the speedo once!

I'd say drive with consideration, for other lane users and locals, for your vehicle, for your passenger if you've got one. But most of all I think for other members of the public. I've recently moved from Londin to Dorset and if I was out walking the daag the last thing I'd want to come across is a load of loons hooning it down a country lane. Take it easy and enjoy the ride.
