As the bloke that has to go out and extract stricken vehicles from the middle of nowhere I would say again. DON'T GO ALONE. If you have no other choice make sure you have a back-up vehicle on standby. If you don't have it DON'T GO.
 
The Lake District National Park Authority website has lists of BOAT and UCR vehicle rights of way (113 km in total!) Lake District National Park Authority - Green Road Driving .

Most of us do far more dangerous things than solo greenlaning, every day - like driving down an A road where there is a very real possibility of having a head on collision with a combined speed of 120 mph. Although I suppose there is a greater risk of having some kind of accident green laning, I think I'd much prefer to have a gentle roll into a ditch at 5 or 10mph.

I regularly go out solo-greenlaning in Wales and so far I have never got stuck, because I get out and look at tricky sections and tend to avoid driving down a lane that I can see I might have trouble reversing out of - It's not a big deal!

Would you still be saying that if it was a water filled ditch the width of your landy so you cant get out and your vehicle is fast filling up with muddy water?

It's generally the easy looking sections that catch most people out. Plain old wet grass is the most common.

I hope your words don't come back to haunt you.
 
Ratty, are you an undercover member of the health and safety police or something? Am I in big trouble? I promise I'll be good from now on - no more fun for me! I've seen the error of my ways now: I'll buy one of those pannic buttons to go around my neck and just stay at home with some breathing apparatus next to me. I'll put on some safety gogles, ear defenders, dust mask and a crash helmet, wrap myself in cotton wool and just wait to die of old age;)
