good advice - I am sure it will be 'clearly' signed up to notify persons of the fact.

I say this because I reckon that as many people as possible should go laning - the more the better....then we are not such a minority group.

The TOR roadbooks make this task easier for people, and hats off to them for doing it, as for many, the location of these lanes is not readily known.

Have to agree!

I did this months Herts/Essex road book in TOR on Monday, we only took 3 vehicles but were still met with the same kind of ridicule from one member of the public as you would normally expect (From the house leading into Berwick ford if anyone knows it)

The road book was very good, and only one step in it was wrong :shock:

I think we should be encouraging safe and courteous use of the lanes, rather than the setting up of horse trials of some description that we were met with on the Essex parts of the book! If this means having them printed in a mag where members of the public can view them and use them with respect then I'm all for it :clap: :clap: :clap:


Cheers

Although I have been critical in the past I had to vote yes, living in Cumbria we have a superb County Council web site with all details available, which when used with other data available i.e. LDNP greenlane data, Wayfinder etc. should ensure we keep to the legal routes.

BUT

I have to add the rider that it is down to all to find out, as others have said, if there have been restrictions imposed by TRO or that there are routing requests from those responsible or local user groups. I won't be labour the D3 Club and the Old Coach Road issue, but they did everything right "asked a local" unfortunately the said local did not know or ask about any of the requested restrictions leading to a problem. They also recce'd the route which was again good practice but in the intervening period the road collapsed, just like Stanage has just been allowed to do as well ! It is a very difficult issue to address successfully but Forums like Mud Club are at least a route to the responsible users, the illegal and banzai minority are not going to bother reading the forum and probably not the magazine but publishing known legal routes is a good thing.

I have used their data to confirm some routes prior to using them their excellent Pately Bridge route being one.
