ellebarto Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 A bit longer than usual this film but well worth it. I went out with a local fella and a GLASS rep on a day covering the Shropshire/Herefordshire border area. A great combination of lanes but a brilliant little group that ran through tight scratchy valleys with axle twists, big leans and some fun water crossings. I get bombarded with requests for lane info so just for something a bit different I’ve also included some basic lane info in the video description. Just enough I think for someone who can read a map to go and find them. http://youtu.be/oFvT43O3G-Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellebarto Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Your South of France aren't you? I hear a lot of good things about the coastal areas of France. Don't the French encourage people to try and keep lanes and links between villages open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Auvergne - the very hearth of France. 200 miles South of Paris - or 8 hrs. motorway from Calais.. It is getting more and more difficult to Greenlane legally as loads of abuse happens and the French reply is simply to close by order the lanes. But we have plenty left for the moment. Enjoy while they last but be very careful - cars are simply crushed if caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellebarto Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Ah right. I always heard that they positively encouraged you to drive on the little lanes linking each little village to keep them open. Sounds like that's no longer the case!

Arjan Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Sorry. A bit of an Urban Myth. We spent a lot of time making sure we're legal.. But you're most welcome for some Laning here. Usu. we do about 6-7 hrs a day off Tarmac. We have "The Mother Of All Greenlaning Trips" where we do a 1,600 miles one-way trip from us to Portugal. 4 Weeks of solid Laning... Not for the faint hearted I must say... Also. we're a lot in the Alps. Lybia is at a hold. Don't think I'll be going there soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellebarto Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 We were in Portugal earlier this year. Love their attitude to laning although police were a bit tough on modifications! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 They are somewhat strict on mods.. But normally not a real issue.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellebarto Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 We were laning with Portuguese lads. Apparently they don't bother with UK trucks but go to town on their own people where every single non standard mod has to be registered!
