You could probably consider yerself naturalised now, maid
Really -dammit! ...just kidding ...the Cornish are a genuinely kind race , I rub shoulders a lot with the Helford set , not so much the yar-yars that come down for 6weeks each year , but the fishermen , farmers etc the true salt of this fine county
P.s Trewey , you have a cruel streak ...

Just found this thread, I was looking on some maps. I really like the Helford and Lizard area and go there often.
Could someone tell me where the good lanes are?
I only know about the quarry near Mawnan.
Last time I was down there I still had my souped up luxobarge (RIP) now I have a D2 I want to explore places I could not before.
My cousin has sold both his Disco and his Defender TD5 so he could afford to buy a house.
BTW I may holiday there but I am not a proper tourist as I am of Cornish ancestry.

You need to read the stickies at the top of the greenlane section.
No one in there right mind will tell you where lanes are unless they know you and your intentions. There are so many muppets out there who are out to wreck them.
Its sad i know, but unfortunately a necessary.
Good advice from Ginge imo!

Sadly i feel like a complete arse when i don't give people the answer they want
I wish(as do other I'm sure) that we could just publicly announce the location of the best lanes etc etc. Id love to know that people will respect them and pick there litter up etc but unfortunately as you know, driving lanes is not enough for some, they have to challenge themselves.

Give it time, and im sure you will enjoy it as much as I do
Seriously though, I am always concerned that people will behave, cornwall is a small place, and everyone tends to know each other. All on this thread are very careful and upset none
Also, on a personal skills level, it always surprises me that they post up about when we are going laning, without any offer of a meet first for a chat and a cup of tea. Like the only reason they want to know us is to get our routes

Call me a boring fart , but for me half the pleasure is to meet like minded folk , work out the maps , recce the routes , then do the ones I know I'm capable of ......and all without upsetting anyone who lives on that route , and hopefully getting on and off them without leaving any more than the tyre track that went before me .....oh and then the all day brekkie .
......which I'm now not allowed
