Hi guys, as the title says, I bought my first GS on Sunday and next weekmimwill be up in the Peak District. I really want to go green laning, but do not know any routes.

Can anyone suggest some good routes in the Peak District?

I'm visiting the area for a week and will be looking to do some trails mid-week. I'll consider TRF membership for the future.

Does anyone know of some routes that I can take in the Peak District?

Hey up Tiktok
Heres a linky to the definative map of Derbyshire /peakdistrict

http://derbyshiremaps.derbyshire.go...arker=&zoom=&back=&pc=&layers=&sl=&sf=&sv=&p=

The map will give you the info of what is up to date legal = BUT NOT WHATS DOABLE FOR YOUR LEVEL OF RIDING - SOME ARE DIFFICULT OR NY IMPOSSIBLE ON A BIKE GS
I am not about next week or I would come along and help with what I know.
As said I wouldnt go on yer own if - 1 yer dont know where yer going or 2 Its dangerous without a mate to lift yer bike with yer
The lanes open at moment are marked up with red dots if it helps yer
Maybe a post in the Peak District Forum may get a response

Thanks for the link Mick. I have done a fair bit off-roading in the past (land rovers, Pinzgauers, Bedfords), often towing. I also grew up around this area, but have not used the byways for a long time.

I have no intention of pushing myself, this is merely to 'dip my toe in the water'. Whilst I have some free time on a family commitment.

I'll be around the weekend of the 14/15 June if anyone fancies a ride then?
