Hi all

I'm looking to take up some light green laning to get back into the off roading world and am wondering if anyone knows of any good lanes around the Chippenham/Bath area?

Don't want anything too extreme, just a warm up run with maybe a few fun bits

Regards

Lots near Bath. A bit further afield and not far from Chippenham is Salisbury Plain, which has lots of routes. Your best bet is to join one of the Facebook groups who do organised drives across the plains working around the MoD live firing and exercise calendar.

Nearest good lanes are salisbury Plain. More than happy to have a chat about what is worth visiting or maybe even meet up for a day down there.

More locally the Old Coach Road running parallel to the a420 near Castle combe is a nice easy drive. There's a few bits of the fosse way driveable. There's a fair few byways round bath but they're rather scratchy and ground clearance can be questionable for a freelander. What are you driving?

Managed to find old coach Road when we went out, was good fun for a short route. Managed to find another our by Hullavington that was fun as well.

Get a OS map(or an app) that lane from hullavington goes a nice distance towards Cirencester. Just watch the depth of the Ford this time of year if it’s been raining
