greenlaning

The worst off-road offenders? BAOR Tankies! I was a passenger in a helicopter flying over the exercise area in Germany and I saw a British tank enter a farmer's field and execute a perfect figure of eight!
It was alleged that the farmers paid the tankies to do it so that they - the farmers - could claim compensation from the good old British taxpayer....

how ironic, a chap or chapess volunteers their recreational pastime and lambasted.

Anybody know anyone against wildcamping then ?

Disrespectful miscreants that leave a mess, have no regard for others ?

Talk about bricks in greenhouses eh ?

Hi, I've only just noticed your post. I should say welcome, particularly since you have chosen to join as a full member, but to be honest I'm a little dismayed. The idea of 5 vehicles churning up the green lanes (legal or not) is not one I relish. Don't you just make a lot of noise and leave a pile of mud and puddles behind you, making it difficult for others who use the green lanes for walking or quieter country pursuits?

I would have thought a wild camper would have been a bit more tolerant to others pastimes. I am a little dismayed. Thhe idea of 5 motorhomes parking up onthe sea front blocking the view (legal or not) is not one i relish. Dont you just make a lot of noise with gennys leave rubbish behind and drain your tanks leaveing dirty puddles behind you, Blah Blah Blah.What they do is 100% legal .
Why cannt people just live and let live,they are doing no wrong.:blah::blah:

Legal laning

I cannot believe the negative response to this new member who plans on doing NOTHING illegal

We have the same problem with 'greenlaning' on trail bikes, only wanting to have access to the 3 or 4 percent of routes that are still legal to use in a motorised vehicle when the ANTI's already have exclusive use of 97 percent of them!!!

These routes are old roads that were superceded by their tarmac equivalents but still retain their legal status as 'roads', are we really going to allow the NIMBYS to stop us from using these routes that have been used by motorised traffic for over 100 years?

I despair :hammer:

I think more is being made of this than need be. The OP seems to have no animosity, quite the opposite in fact. the question was raised by Frances and the answer was taken amicably. why bother to make any more of it than necessary?

Nice. is that a Columbus on top of the Landrover? I had one until recently and they are a great piece of kit.

What is the trailer? Any more pics of it?

Please don't argue on my behalf, my reasons for joining are twofold, in tbe short term I am trying to "sus" out where I might stop for a night or two and in the long term- perhaps a couple of years we ( my partner and me) have a plan to buy an old hymer and tour Europe, something we've done a lot but staying in cheap hotels ect, I have just read with great interest an article " my leisure battery and me" and found it very usefull!!

 

[sapper]

I'd just like to add my Welcome to Full Member Suffolk.... I hope to wild camp in my motorhome and then go greenlaning on my ex military motorcycle to explore the local area.... so think I can benefit both from Suffolk's knowledge and the collective knowledge of this forum.

I used to belong to a local group of green laners and worked to clear some obstructed and totally impassable lanes. Filling pot holes on others, all with the full support of the County Council. The result was complaints from bobble hats that we were driving on their foot paths which were previously blocked with brambles etc. Just shows that you can't please some people

Were they properly constructed complaints or were they just rambling....
