Ahhh, just found Charlotte's post. Wrong thread, right sentiment! Eeeeeasy tiger!
I agree, there ain'ent no need to shell out your hard earned joining anyone or anything, but it is a real threat. Get it right & you offend nobody (of note), get it wrong, think you're right & argue the point & you just shoot yourself/ourselves in the bowlocks/snatch.
Greenlaning IS a bloody minefield, especially just now. It's unfeasibly easy to upset someone (of note) & whilst I relish a good row I also appreciate the need at times to be the voice of reason.
Like some sad assed Guardian reader, I've actually been moved in the current climate to write to Land Rover Owner International about their February issue. On page 148 the have an article headed "Greenlane of the month" in which they repeatedly use the phrase "off road" which it bloody isn't. It is a road, it just happens to be devoid of tarmac!
It is a minefield out there (so to speak, not literally, we sent all of them to Africa et al!) & it is worth getting all the guidance you can before buggering off up some likely looking track & meeting some farmer/homeowner or some red sock wearing "now, I don't think you wanted to do that, did you?" ass wipe who has a (God forbid) valid point in justifying their pityful existence on this fabulous & immensly driveable planet.
Got to GLASSes website, phone your local authority & then (especially given your locality) drive to your hearts content. I for one would kill to live where you do.
Sorry, rant over, but I do think it's important, especially just now. Once we have the "definitive list", well, that's where we can drive & that's all, but there's a helluva lot of ****s out there who've pinched the Ravukilander4Xtosser off of their long suffering spouses for the W/end who are going to shoot all of us in the reproductive systems if we take this lightly.......Done now.
Best to all,
Marcus.
