4x4 green laning/off roading
Jump to: Newest in thread
"Educate me, what’s greenlaning? "
Driving roads that are not tarmacked.
Might be a rough track normally used by the farmer, might be across fields, or an ancient track.
It's still a road, need to be licensed and insured etc.
It can be challenging, sometimes to drive, sometimes to find.
It's not off-roading which is also fun, but the trouble is when idiots can't tell the difference.
Off roading is usually when you are on a site which has been designed to test your vehicle (and the driver) Like a really muddy skateboard park. Last time I did it, was at a disused quarry. |

Yeah not been for a few years as I sold all the Landrover’s but have just bought a quad and started again. Anyone wants showing some great lanes in North Wales let me know. |

Used to be seriously into it, but now the commute means I have to be sensible about my choice of motor!
Remember one edition of Land rover owner International ran a story about a naturist couple who were into their green laning, got a lot of attention as I'm sure you'd appreciate! |

"One day I’m going to come south and explore Salisbury Plain. "
Definitely have a look at the Fosse Way too, I enjoyed it more than SPTA as it's always available. Salisbury Plain can be closed down if the military are using it, and it's quite restrictive on where you can / can't go. |

I've never driven anywhere, on or off road, with my thumbs inside the wheel, ever since I heard a road safety lecturer describing how they can get dislocated even from a minor shunt.
Also like to keep both hands on the wheel (thumbs safely parked) unless there is a very good reason not to. Much better and balanced control,ready for the unexpected. |

Wasn’t there a vehicle seizure on Yateholme Lane (or was it Ramsdens), at the north side of HolmeMoss a few days ago?
Was it due to re-grading of the legal status, or simply an unroadworthy vehicle? |
