TEMPER593:
Hi all.

Can any please tell me which maps i need and what i need to look for for green laning.

Thanks very much TEMP.

I would join your local club meet, other than that you really need to go to your local council offices and check the "definitive map" to be sure of a green lane's status. 
Ordanance survey maps will give you some idea but don't tell you whether a road has a right of way or not.

lee celtic:
Landranger OS maps........


then explore and research  ;)

Depends how much detail you want........1:50000 is ok for Macro stuff BUT you will find that a lot of 'stuff' is missed off, - ie. some tracks, streams etc.

A 1:50000 will generally be enough for greenlaning escapades, but compare one to a 1:25000of the same area- and you will be very surprised as to the amount that gets missed!

Also depending on where you are going and how good you are with Mapwork, a Harveys, or BMC map can be a very useful tool, and are an unusual scale at 1:40000, with a weird contour interval of 15m?!- Not ideal for use with a conventional romer scale on a normal compass.........
