I don't like p n p days they bore me after an hour or two.
I don't want to depend on following the leader all the time as its not fair to let the same peeps put all the effort in all the time.

if it means ive got to frig about taking documents to the council before I even try go down a lane then I give up now and want a cheap 30 quid a year to tax car.

I wish there were more open lanes across Cannock Chase, a few years ago, I "accidentally" found myself on one of the logging lanes.:augie
They run for miles. :augie
Some areas have wooden poles as a barrier with a padlock, some are open, and lead to car parks, others are just access points for logging, BUT there are no signs, so how do you know which is which? I was tempted to try one yesterday, as I knew that 99.9% of the time it was closed as I live close by, but to a visitor...
They could find themselves "locked in"

They used to hold 4x4 open days for 4x4's, led by the forestry commission, for a fee:doh

There are very few lanes in Staffordshire...
If I could guarantee no scratches or body dents, then I would try more.

Hardly a sign anywhere round here apart from the top few lanes. Some lanes the signs get nicked.
We've been on some awesome lanes that were so overgrown you couldn't walk down them. Bit of research later we had them OK to go and had a day out with chainsaws and strimmers :naughty Nothing plain in this stupid game of hunt the lane Similarly there are lanes the Definative map says are good to go but the farmer doesn't Then this happens

tbh if it only looks like a path, probably best to give it a miss.

hardly tread lightly making your own track.

byways, boats, tend to have signs saying so, red arrow on them.

bridleways have blue arrows, footpaths yellow.

also restricted byways = bridleway at best.

rule 1 dont go alone.

So man up and get a visit booked, just like a Leader would :clap
