I am from the area, and coudl point you in the direction of some good tracks As I dont have a 4x4 myself.

I lived in Ropley,Alton,Bentley,Farnham,Odiham so know it fairly well

Thanks for the reply do you know road names as well or farm names? i havent long been doing it but got the hang of ir quite quick and can tell a green lane from a farmers gate where you shouldnt be.....unfortunately from default.

That'll be Brick Kiln Farm then.If so, a distinctly average site!

How do you know the status of the "green Lanes" that you're using?

[Sloppy Samurai]

as i said i am new to the offroading scene. But going by my map and signs saying 'Public By ways' ive been told they are called 'Green Lanes' if you could recommended some not so 'Average Site' that would be highly appreciated.

Sloppy,I hope my comment didn't come across as too negative, it wasn't meant to be.

Have a read of this.

The onus is on you to ensure that you have legal right of way on any"green lane"
These are Byeways Open To All Traffic.(BOATS),Unclassified Roads etc etc.An OS map will not tell you the status of these routes, as they can change on a daily basis.Most OS maps are woefully out of date.The only sure way is to check the definitve map which is held by the Rights of Way officer of your relevant local council.You can lose your vehicle in the worst case scenario.

Check out www.AWDC.co.uk and have a look at the calendar for June 8th,Hogmoor Enclosure.Thats a reasonable pay and play to start out with, and not a million miles from you.

Good luck.
