Alright fellas as i type this i have the os maps spread on the floor, im looking at lanes around solihull leamington etc. im checking them against trailwise to see for closures.
I have the likes of tinkers, tapster and the ones at barston(with a nice ford for tom) but if you know any other good ones stickem up and ill check them.
Matt
Just to let you know Wood Lane in Barston is now on a TRO, but hob lane and the ford are open.
There's also Heronfield way by the black boy on the Warwick rd and there is an unmarked UCR off oldwich lane in Chadwick End.
Unfortunately I'm not around this weekend as I'm away.
Chris.
Thanks for that Chris
Thats another one on the list. Were going monday, not the weekend so if ur around come along. I was checking trailwise for TRO's and found a few but its saying wood lane is open, is the TRO a recent one? and is it permanent?
Of course ill take your word for it, and we wont drive it.
Thanks
Matt
So far fellas i have us starting in Fillongley(near kingsbury) heading down through barston, lapworth area and then onto the aston cantlow lanes there is the ford at packington but its only that, no lanes round there.
In total i count 14 lanes and 2 separate fords. most are long and there is a few small. if we get lots of rain over the weekend we may need to rethink some of them. hoping to check out a few on friday with storm.
Storm, will give you a ring tomorrow.
hope thats all ok? so far i think the people who want to come are:
4x4tom - + Alex???
Fesuvious
storm99?
big ginga beard - matt
Jason

The TRO is a recent one and will probably end up as permanent (spoke to the RoW guy the other day to confirm the status as I'd heard it may be closed)
I'm away all week unfortunately otherwise I'd be out.
Chris
Sounds good to me.
This is where 50 people say they want to come laning and you run out of ketchup!
I think meeting around the same time is a good idea so 0830 - 0900???
That ok?
Matt
Just got back from 2 lanes in fillongley and packington ford.
of the 2 lanes i have marked down in fillongley, 1 is decent enough. im sure after a bit more rain itll be interesting, the other is mainly hardcore rubble.
And nothing to report on the ford apart from on the 27th june warwickshire council will be meeting to discuss its closure. So were ok to drive it on monday, that will please tom. lol
Hoping to look at the barston and lapworth ones tomorrow, i think the aston canlow ones will almost be a given. we can walk them monday if need be.

Just got back from barston, didnt bother with wood lane as thats obviously not do-able but i did look at hob lane and heronfield lane.
Heronfield lane is a good one, hope youve all got diff guards? lol didnt do the last bit as there was a van parke across the gate but hopefully that wont be there on monday. if it is you can still get out without turning round.
walked hob lane and it will be good with the forecast rain.
I researched the others on different forums etc and there all fairly well known so im sure they will be fine.
Am away for the weekend but will see you all monday,
Storm how is ur 90 getting on? are you going to be ok for monday?
Si can you send me your postcode and house number? will pm you just incase you dont read this.

Are the lanes ok for a standard P38 on worn Good year wranglers with a novice greenlaner at the wheel ? If so can I tag along.
