Green lanes in North Wales
Hi,
I remember how difficult it was to get lane information when I first started, the legality and safety aspect, especially in these big "trucks" can be scary. I've been leading a few groups around North Wales recently and thought I would offer anyone wanting to either try out lanes for the first time, or get a taste of the famous lanes in area .. I can do the Lakes or the Peaks too but Wales is the easiest for me for a one dayer.
I can arrange a day for people with no experience, people with little experience or those that have done some "off-road" before and want to explore. Anyone looking for a challenge, sorry, these are Green lanes, you need a pay and play .. everything I do is 100% legal. (if you're new you will get some white knuckle moments but you won't hurt yourself or the car if you follow me)
All the lanes I do are safe, no panel damage risks, maybe some scratching depending on how precious you are about having to polish after and the time of year (it's all bushes)
This isn't an advert .. I'm not commercial and I certainly don't charge for setting up trip or leading

Green Laning
Hi Rogers,
Im new to the forum and to the Disco 4 and would love to take you up on your kind offer. Iv been looking around the forums and fb page to see if there are any groups in the North wales area (Im based in Conwy).
Iv done a bit of offroading with the RAF in hylux's and 110's but nothing like the Disco 4 and this time its my own vehicle and therefore id be a little more cautious not to bend it!!
Im away till September with work (COVID has a lot to answer for). but once i am back i am happy to come along for a jolly.
My DC4 is completely std with Goodyear tyres so not sure if i will need to do any prepping.
Cheers
Matt

Hiya
I may be interested dependent on date if you're putting a group together.
Some limited experience (Cam High Rd and similar), but nothing too sketchy.
Cheers

If someone's rustling up a north Wales 'posse' of virgin green-laners, I'd definitely be up for it!

Hi Rothers,
appreciate your post is quite old now but would be good to get out with yourself and others when lock downs up if you have anything planned ?
I am also a new member to GLASS within Merseyside and dont really use facebook.
