We had a fantastic time. Loved every minute. Probably a good thing that we didn't do a lane. Talking with one of the customs/immigration guys on the dockside who is a 4x4 guy, he reiterated the insensitive treatment that some of the lanes have suffered and informed us the local constabulary...

Well, we cycled the mountain course on Saturday. Brill. After a swim and jacuzzi went out on the cycles with the girls. Treated ourselves to the pub then. Sunday morning before breakfast we cycled up the mountain to have the adrenaline rush coming back down. Then up the mountain on the railway...

Ok, the other lane it is then. I'll take my time and hopefully there'll be no LZIR call out lol. I'll let you know the outcome next week :-)

.....if you see an orange Disco give us a wave :-)

A fine day is forecast for the ride. Hopefully the pond will be smooth. What could go wrong lol

Thanks for the great advice. We're booked on the ferry home on Sunday, this is just a quick visit. RBoshuis - doesn't Millenium Way go up to the Shelter? That looks a nice climb. Shimsteriom - thanks for that advice. I've got a choice of 2 lanes now :-)

My golden rule is not to lane alone but this opportunity seems too good to miss. I wouldn't want to put on anyone over there so just a pointer would be welcome. I presume the lanes on the mountain would be rocky therefore non damaging by me?

It will be the one car with 2 'laners' in it. I have a winch fitted.

I'm going tomorrow and will hopefully drive a lane on Saturday after the cycle. A bit late for advice I realise. I'd be happy for a recommendation of a non scratchy lane, I don't mind if it's technical, just keep the paintwork in one piece lol. Unfortunately there's no descriptions of any of...

I'll be in the Disco 3. Going over there to cycle the TT course and it would be a shame not to sample a local delight whilst on the fine island

Long shot here... Anyone have any knowledge of the byway near the top of Snaefell? Windy Corner to Glenroy. Looks to be above the tree line so looks to be non scratchy but seems mega steep. There's no info on Trailwise. Anyone driven it recently?

Interesting is one word that comes to mind......

Mine's the one Paul mentions. It's slow but it works. Mega hot by the end of the day but still working. More than can be said about the rest of the truck . Ripped a wheel arch off, also the snow cowl. Front diff guard in pieces. Difflock broke. Detonated the front near side CV and halfshaft. But...

I'm an Apple user. I used to run a full sized IPad with Memory Map and 1:50 maps. Now I use an IPad mini, smaller screen but clearer with the Retina display so equally easy to see. Bonus of being lighter so less chance of the windscreen mount sucker coming unstuck. I have MM on the IPhone so can...

.....or you could just try my reply to you

Look south of Barmouth on the other side side of the bay. There's a UCR that runs parallel to the A493. Not hard to see on a map :-) From the other side of a bay it must have good views.....

Glass is the Green Lane Association. Does what it can to fight to keep the lanes open. Being a member gives access to the Trailwise database which is very handy to find the lanes. So yes, it's beneficial to join Glass.

If you look at the above threads you will learn how to find Green Lanes. If you join Glass you will then have access to Trailwise, a database of Lane's where you will have a good idea if they are still legal to drive. Have fun whilst doing the above, it's how the rest of us have done it.

There are no Green Lanes in Scotland so that makes the trip a tad awkward.

I think you'll find hardly any peeps even bother to reply to you tpress. Only 30 posts in 5 1/2 years? If you're not known, you could be a member of the anti brigade looking for clues as to which lanes to close next...... You'd be better off putting in the hours to find them yourself or to join...
