Well three days of laning in Wales done. Found all the lanes my mate wanted, and drove most of them, that we are allowed to. Interesting to drive lanes that I haven’t for 5 years plus, and see the changes. Nice to test the Gwyn Lewis suspension, and all the other toys I’ve fitted. Unbelievable weather, we were planning rain and mud, but the biggest problem was dust, on the lanes and some complaining about sunburn.

Thanks to those that assisted. Thumbs Up

I'm heading to Wales later in the year, probably with our Opus and Defender. Are there any gravel track roads we can take? We're driving from Rhyl right down to Pembroke.

To clarify, I'm not looking for anything to offroady, but want to get off the beaten track.

Thanks Retroanaconda.

You’ve confirmed some of my thinking and added some helpful information. From memory of my previous membership of GLASS they didn’t list the lanes by names. Am I correct in thinking that, Or am I wrong and they do?


Not all Lanes are named, but many do have names present. I don't think you can search on lane name, but I've not tried. You can 'save' a lane as a Favourite and give it a name too.

Are you sure you were always on the lanes? Very rarely have I seen anything 'challenging' in 4x4 terms on a Green Lane. We go most years to Wales, heading that way in a couple of weeks in fact. A standard 90 on small tyres should be over kill for almost any permitted green lane. Anything extreme will likely be off piste and not part of the lane.

All lanes completed were all legal to use and we kept on the correct path.
