Websites: try GLASS the green lane assc. or Wetroads.co.uk for roads with fords, some on byways. Mags are good for pay and play events. Get yourself some OS maps of your area. Get in touch with a local club, find them by magazine or google. Not a good idea to do lanes alone in case you get stuck. Good Luck.
Hi,
There is a fairly good Off Road Site in the north of Kent (near Brands Hatch) called Woodlands :- http://www.woodlands4x4.ic24.net/ and they have lots of pay and play days for £20.
Also for Green Lanes in kent this link on the KCC website which lists all the Legal Lanes to drive :- http://extranet7.kent.gov.uk/explorekentgis/map.aspx
Hope this helps
Cheers
Sam

Hello,
Yeah Sounds Good!! I will probably be the only Series 2 there so not hard to spot!!
I bet though by the the end of the day you will be doing some of the harder stuff as you will get the bug for it!!. Also as you never been there before I can take you through the slightly harder runs if you want just incase you are worried about them. I am going to be doing this for my mate this sunday as he his taking his Jeep Cherokee ( probably shouldn't say them words on here!! ) and he is a bit worried about getting stuck so he is going to follow me around.

Sam, Look forward to getting my wheels dirty up at Brands, and yes I will want to try more extreme (Not deep wading, no snorkel and dont want damp/wet trousers!) Will be taking my 11 year old lad with me, should be OK for him wont it??
Dave, they do runs like the ski slopes, white being novice with no mods, up to Black which is the extreme for the well modded. So your freelander should be OK, the guy who owns the snack bar in Aylesford (St Michaels close) goes up there a lot, will try and ask him in the next day or so for you....
I have been told there is a green lane behind the garage on Blue Bell Hill (Maidstone bound) leads up to Boxley hill, would be an interesting time sussing it out??

Looks on the map like it's called 'Pilgrims Way'
Once I've got my brakes sorted I'm up for a go at that if you want a third - I'm a real novice off road, so might be an idea if I walk it with the dog first
Cheers,

Adz, that link seems to be dead, but I've driven on some of pilgrims way and it has some great views. I think it has some sort of seasonal closure on it, but I could be confusing it with the Ridgeway, in fact as I type, I'm almost certain its the Ridgeway thats partly closed for the winter. I have a couple of OS maps for the area and there are quite a few little BOATs there (Byway Open to All Traffic). Last time I was there we suffered a little rambler rage and almost had a new hood ornament in the shape of a speeding scrambler bike.
