Its 25mph, and yes I would say so. Most of the lanes I go on are impossible any faster.

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

There is a 3km restriction on the radius you can search.

Once found click the track, then a box will pop up, click the UID. You will get a page like this

http://www.trailwise.org.uk/do_quick...?uid=SP7775-01

It contains all the info you need on usability of the track.

At the bottom it still says "Registered users see more detail!", but I'm not sure what that detail is or why you need it. Maybe Tigersaw can fill us in on that one.

If that is all you see there is probably no info available on the track.

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

Additional details are authority records and links to them, user info entered by those using the track, evidence entries - used as proof the lane is in use for legal challenges, links to OS maps, sometimes more.
Registered users can amend the database (as I try and do), have access to better searches, ability to export (download) overlays. There might be more, not sure.

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

Can't seem to find any local tracks near me on that map

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

Legal green laning is almost non-existent in Scotland mate. Very few legal rights of way. Get permission from a landowner (if you could get permission from the forestry commission you'd be laughing).

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

I am now a fully fledged member of TRF :D and am a bit hyper about getting up to the lakes, I better get my **** into gear with the DTR

http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/roads-tran...ils_Routes.asp is brilliant gives you all the lanes marked out in corresponding colours and gives all the detail you'd ever need :cool: shame the same cant be said for local councils round here

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

Well done, its the best time to join, as the memberships always renew in Jan

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

I'm not interested in going to meetings and stuff, and don't really need info on trails, I've found most of that for myself (I think! Unless the TRF are really good at keeping secrets?) so to date haven't joined a group. And partially because as I don't have the time to commit to meetings, I didn't know if I would be better to join GLASS or CRAG instead?

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

That looks really good, well done Cumbria

After much **** taking aimed in Speedplay's direction, I'm seriously considering a towbar and three bike trailer, so Wales, Yorkshire Dales and Lake District are within reach on a day trip.

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

I thought it best to join a group, so I have backup when I get attacked by hikers :smt081

But seeing as this is all new to me thought it best to consult the experts. Cumbria does seem to have the right mentality, bikers are users too and they seem to genuinely want you to have fun and come again. so why shouldnt they make the information readily available?

Im waiting to see how I get on with the Yam on the road before deciding, if I get sick of it being just a 125 i'll forego the 60 mile ride there and throw it on the back of the trailer :oops:

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

Judas :)

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

Ghey...


You'll be looking at a caravan next and will be a proper pikey....



Just for the record, I still proud to have never owned a trailer...:D

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

I'd still ride to Midlands trails Phil, don't worry ;-)

Wouldn't it be cool to be able to set off for Wales early morning, be on the trails by 10am, do 6 hours of riding, and be home again for tea?

4 hours or motorway riding and 6 hours of trail riding? Feck that. Unless you have a trailer Wales has to be an overnight trip.

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

BTW, I already have access to a very nice caravan, and despite protestations from my mother and my sister that it's great and I should get a towbar, I point blank refuse to tow a plastic house along behind me at 60mph, that has less interior space than a mid-sized tent. Luckily I've told them that my car won't tow it because it's only a 1.8 engine, and they believed it, so I'm safe to get a towbar fitted without getting my ear chewed off.

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

We used to use my mates ldv cub that he bought for the job.

2 bikes top and tail in the back and job done ;)

Re: greenlaning in wales
 

My car is fully expensed by work though. I'd did cross my mind tonight though, wonder if they'd let me have a van instead?

I could certainly have a people carrier.
