Hi,
I will be on holiday in Normandy this August and would very much like to do some green laning while there, can any of you PH'ers suggest reputable guides or local clubs who could assist?

I emailed one company I found on the internet but have had no response so far...time to chase them up.

Will be interested to see what the responses are here. Are you taking your own bike?

I've been told more than once that in France, all lanes are fair game as long as there is not a Private sign (Privé!) at the entrance. OTOH have also been told that the French are clamping down on it.

I'd like to know as I'd be keen to get the tunnel over and spend a day or two on French green lanes. There seem to be loads of options, if you look out of the Eurostar window!

I have heard similar but being a GLASS area rep I am keen to remain on the correct side of the law.

Ah, sorry for the confusion! We have also contemplated a 4-wheel trip to scope it out - but that will be in a mere V8 Defender, not a Bowler!
