OK someone is bound to tell me they know about this but me being a thicky i could not find anything on here so for those of you like me that are PC challenged here are a couple of sites i spent weeks finding takes 2 mins but don't forget thicky here I hope you enjoy
www.wetroads.co.uk gives all fords and water splash data with photos for all UK
Google Maps display for Trailwise pick an area zoom in (double click to zoom and center map) and in bottom right click on search for track in view when track are shown click on a track to get all current info on track IE: is it a byway or just a bridal or footpath
ENJOY!
 
Good (familiar) links, wrong section though. This is green laning - not offroading. The distinction is important.
 
Wetroads is good, although I dont think it is up to date, I have visited a few that are now close/no longer accessable.
 
HI Widget and Griffdowg you see i knew someone would tell me they have seen it all before ,take your point in OFF ROAD V GREEN LANEING although i would argue that they are just different aspects of the same thing but who cares as long as we have FUN and make new friends. can you tell me of any better web sites for finding more up to date info.
Widget like the vids just had a quick look going back to look at rest of them

Not quite the same thing. The legal byways within this country are predominantly ancient roads and as such have a hard substrate, aka, road. Offroad is indeed that, off the road. Most people refer to offroading as pay and play sites along with competitions, RTV's etc. Whereas greenlaners like to get out into the countryside off the main highways to enjoy the peace and tranquility not assossiated with V8's trying to climb a 45degree slope :D

point taken! I was only meaning getting off the tarmac i have never been to a pay and play and agree that its nice to get away from the rat race for a few hours and find out whats at the end of the lane as long as its legal i dont wish to hear how many RPM someone can push a V8 to
 
Try glass's wayfarer for info that's a bit more accurate. But at th end of the day best thing to do is pick the lanes you want to do and contact the council that's responsible for em and ask if they're still legal to drive.

Exactly - as red says there's no shortcut to finding places to go. GLASS's Trailwise (which the OP links to) is only as good as what's put in, and much is derived from the OS maps until proven otherwise. But - every bit of cross-referenced info helps.
 
Redhand remember at start of this post i said i was a thicky well i searched for glass's wayfarer and all i find are sunglasses and boats have you got a link please
 
Red - Wayfarer is a lane in Wales. Wayfinder Project was the original lanes database which both GLASS and CRAG have dropped in favour of Trailwise which the OP linked in the first post.
