Munster Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hello all, I'm looking to organise a weekend laning/camping but want to spend as little time as possible on tarmac. I'm looking for a 2/3 night route possibly in Wales or Devon/Cornwall (but am open to suggestions bearing in mind I live in west sussex) where I can join a route off the tarmac on day 1 and stay off the tarmac until I drive home. My initial thoughts were; Brecon Beacons Snowdonia Exmore Dartmore Has anyone done anything like this before and suggest some routes?? I'm not particularly looking to get muddy or stuck and will be looking to go in May probably. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 A friend and I (also from West Sussex) are planning a weekend's greenlaning in South Wales later in the year, we chose that area due to the high availabilty of some decent lanes.

ciderman Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Exmoor which was once a haven for excellent lanes is no longer , and you would be hard pushed to find much on Dartmoor . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Really Well, not just South Wales, but the journey to and from there as well. Thinking of calling in at Salisbury Plain on the way etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdixon7 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi There are an abundance of lanes around Swindon, I have 4 or 5 routes that use very little tarmac the lanes here just flow into each other check out the OS http://www.bdcc.co.uk/XMarksTheSpot.htm?t=...;g=SU1396085695 You can spend all day and not be 10 miles from swindon or a good route for the home ward trip would be Lambourn Great Shefford Chieveley then East Isley. Give me a PM when your ready I would be pleased to show you around. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Can't be anywhere in the Uk though where you could spend 3 days driving and it all be in green lanes?? Depends on how slow you go though! There is no way it could be done without touching tarmac at all, but I dare say it could be done with minimal tarmac. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
