Green Laning - How-to

[fridgman]

Ok so I'm new to the off-roading scene, but not to 4x4 vehicles, and am drawn to the idea of green laning but where to start?
Basically I'm looking for a beginners guide to finding green lanes in a given area.
Any suggestions?

find a local group, Well worth it. Will be quicker to learn the do's and don'ts.

I recommend http://forum.fourwheeldriveclub.com, quite a few south east members.

What he said, but don't be tempted to wander off on your own. Get a mate with another 4x4 if you do, or else you will come a cropper at some point:augie
Good luck :thumbs

Very interesting site, thank you. Much to read and absorb. Just need to find a 'mate' with a 4x4. Everyone I know seem to drive people carriers or sporty hatchbacks!

I take that back! Membership fees just to be able to access their mapping tools! I understand why they are in existence but not quite what I was looking for at this stage. And nothing local in Suffolk or Norfolk

I have not joined the glass site. Just read bits on what routes are closed or restricted

That's the trouble with these do gooder bodies, you've got to pay up just to be told what not to do :doh
Try here mate http://forum.fourwheeldriveclub.com/ they've got loads of outings most weekends:thumbs
