Is this an official lane near Hinckley Leicestershire?

LUKBENPHI · Oct 27, 2015

Afternoon

My mate put me on to this track a few weeks back and I've cycled along it since ,Its wide enough for a car all the way and people have obviously used 4x4's on it before due to the tracks, does it show up on any land ranger /OS maps as a proper lane or is it just a farm track?

I've highlighted it in red from the Byway map site.

Wanted to check if it is an official lane before trying the Disco on it.

Thanks
Phil

No, it's an unsealed, unsurfaced road and classed as an ORPA, other route with Public Access .. so yes, it's also a Lane ..

Thanks Paul

So does that mean I can use the disco up there?

Much appreciated

It's not very exciting I'm afraid bud I reckon I could drive it in the wifes Nissan Note. There's a couple up around Shackerstone though

Maybe it's time for a local laning day.

I doubt the note would make it it's got some quiet deep potholes at the wykin end of it currently

I'd be up for that, need to ease back in gently though as been a number of years. The 2000 disco 2 I have at present has an ABS sensor down so no traction control, not sure how good they are without traction. It does have a set of brand new set of BF Goodrich ATs on though in 265/65/18.

Everything I could possibly do to it. melted a piston, cracked the cylinder head, destroyed an injector and now this weekend replace the fuel pump in the tank.
