Traffic Regulation Order - prevents powered vehicle use - usually temporary while damage is repaired or during winter months. In the case of the lanes leading to Rushmoor Pond only applies to 4 wheeled vehicles and appears permanent.

Went....
and had a look at some of these bye ways, looked like it could be fun, but being a complete novice off road did not try any on my own.....some of the lanes up to them were fun as well......
Looked at the ones north of Alton along the line of Odiham road.....

Try the Bentworth end of Tinkers Lane - in the dry it's a good first-time track.

Easy Off Road
Mick,
Not quite an off-road virgin, if my mrmory serves me correct...
How about a follow up free lesson.
I was to blame for the fun and games the last time.
Pat.

Billy No Mates..
went and did it on his own, did Tinkers Lane, dropped the bike twice, no damage, injured me elbow badly, hurts like **** and very painful to bend.....so as of now if it's not covered in tarmac not interested.....
I know the track does not look that bad but there were some really large gravel, which is where gravity took over......

Have a good hard look at those crash bars, I had them and wasn't long before the rear support cracked after a few very low speed off's, didn't protect the heads either so took em off 
Hope you heal soon

Green Lane - Stone track to start with leading past a farmhouse then gets more interesting - fairly overgrown with a number of large concrete lumps - presumably to deter 4x4 from using the byway?

Green Lane - More overgrown that it appears
Watch out for a number of concrete lumps scattered along the edges of this end of the track.

A bit of a forgotten byway, tricky to get onto this end since it is on a dual-carriageway. The other end leads onto a short UCR currently 4x4 restricted by a locked gate but with an additional gate with a large enough gap for a GS to get through. Probably not for the first-timer due to the large rabbit population digging holes and one section of the track has a large fallen tree across it - again with enough gap for a GS to get around slowly.

A bit of a forgotten byway, best to get onto this end since the other end joins a dual-carriageway.

Watch out for golfers/buggies - runs near Bowenhurst Golf course - not very interesting.
