Green-Laning isn't about keeping up, mostly .. it's about getting to places most people don't/can't, enjoying the views, and having a good time socially .. ;)

No-one gets left behind .. unless they eat all the pies ...
 
yes i watched that one where abouts is that by race course my wife has a freelander i know they are not liked by most of 4x4 owners but was thinking of doing some light laning in that before my series 3 is on the road

Best way to get into laning is to go with others and get used to whats what, once you meet people they will be happy to share info e.t.c.

Heres one of the lanes we found in sailsbury, I liked this one:

Did that lane with WLM the other week, absolute feckin' cracker that was! Great vid you done there but it still don't capture it. Canna wait to have another do. Although after checking my air filter I need a snork sorted before I do them big puddles again!

Which ones? I'm not going to type out an itinerary thingy of the lanes :rolleyes: they'll be gentler lanes which will not damage bodywork and not be across the army ranges which is what you were originally after wasn't it? :baby:
