im from the midlands and ive seen a few lanes blocked of with concrete blocks
the one was a ford not far from stonebridge island.
is this the way the council close lanes off
ive never been greenlaning but always wanted to but was always worried about the legalities of it all.

The ford your on about is/was packington ford. It was permanently TRO'd last year or the year before i think. The farmer has access to it but its no longer a public right of way.

The ford was very popular so i believe the blocks are there to stop all but bikes.

The council have to put forward an argument as to why they want a TRO

Stick around on this thread and next time some people are going out then ask to tag along. Get to know the local people and then you will pick up how to find lanes.

I've only had the disco for 5 weeks (had a red 200tdi before that) and I live in hillmorton just off of lower hillmorton road. It's took me most of those 5 weeks to make it roadworthy let along ready for off road, but we are getting there now.

Could even head over to shropshire if you want?

Brilliant lanes over that way.

Mainlander · Apr 26, 2013

I'm easy, sounds like any of those options would be good.

Oh well hunningham to ufton lanes are closed ..Roadsigns and concrete blocks and full diversion in place.

Snowford Hill Hunningham through to Ufton is fully open, trundled through this afternoon - the section from the canal bridge to Ufton has been repaired with rubble.
