Right, me and friend are planning a 3/4 day Green laning trip form south to north wales! Can anyone recommend lanes or good b&b's used? Help will be much appreciated I know this has probably been covered in older posts but would like some information from recent months ect

I'm looking for tough and easy routes

Cheers Luke
 
Will pm you a link. It's old but majority are still ok to use. You will have to do usual research to check legal state of play on them. Please use site info wisely and with care. Let me know what you think of it.
 
Cheers guys I was asking for precious experience and any lanes you guys recommend! I have got all the maps required for the south to north run now so I can plot the route!
 
Hello, mr killjoy here again! :eek:

There is a reason we don't just hand out lanes location and information folks. :rolleyes:

Its not because we enjoy being the bad guy. If only it was!

Non of us know each other on here, were just a name on a screen. Who knows what the other persons intentions are??? Not all the people who drive off piste and ruin lanes are uneducated, some know exactly what there doing and by sending routes and posting lane information your playing right into there hands. :(

Obviously i cant police this, it isn't my site, and I'm just another saddo on the end of a keyboard.

If you have any respect for rights of way and the future of greenlaning in the UK then you would only pass on information to people you know and trust.

Its very sad that we can't assume the good in everyone but that unfortunately is the way of the world these days. :(



I would just like to say to the OP that I'm not accusing you of anything, i don't know you. Thats why i won't and can't give you any information. Sorry.

Map ROW info is often out of date, worth checking with the ROW officer at the relevant council. Some of them have online interactive definitive Map which you can look at. GLASS reps can inform members about TROs etc.

No, or poor either.
A while back I was working on a 1000 acre arable farm in Hampshire. There was an issue with 4wd coming in the grain fields and driving around flattening the crop. One of the guys was doing it was driving quite an expensive late model rangie.
 
I used to live in Essex / London border lot of thick rich ****s down there lol

Glass well as a rep I would say its worth joining even if its only to feel good about helping to fight to keep your green lanes open

but if you ask a question about lanes more likely to get help on the GLASS site as a member than try to get anything on here

????? I only sent him a link to a website that's been available for donkeys years (he had already seen it). Hardly wikileak standard.

Like i said, i can't stop you.

You have to do what you have to do.

But like me, one day you might go to use your local favourite lanes and find they have been abused.

Like offering to take any Tom, Dick or Harry around them tomorrow and Saturday. Double standards?

:lol:

Come on. Your not daft, you know exactly the difference.

We both know that taking people out and meeting them, and just handing over a load of information is different. :rolleyes: When you meet people face to face you get an idea of the kind of person they are.
 
I'm with Ginge on this. Taking someone round is very different. Not only do you get to meet and get a sense of what they're like but you show them how to drive responsibly as well.

Fair enough you have no control over what they'll do if they go back alone or with others but they'll at least get a real sense of what is acceptable within a peer group. When taking out people I don't know I'll drive a few hardy lanes first and if I feel unsure about them I'll skip more sensitive and easily damaged ones.

As said it's a real shame it has to be like that but the alternative is to keep everything a secret or allow the mud muppets free rein.
 
How about not jumping to conclusions like I didn't know the original poster. For all you knew we could have been old Buddies and I was giving him the W H Smith web page to get os maps from. Truthfully I checked his details on his page and thought he looked trustworthy. Only offered info that he already had that had been floating round in cyber space for longer than you have been laning. So after you have profiled the people you deem suitable to pass the knowledge on to, how do you control the kind of people they pass it on to? You could be showing Peter Sutcliffes best mate where the prossies hang out. Quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand.

Now you are making a mistake. I agree with what Ginge said to a degree. Ways and means though.
