There are a number of lanes which you have listed in surrey/west sussex which arnt legal..

Have you ridden the lanes?

There is even one that crosses a rail line which only has a narrow walkers swing gate to get through, so you couldnt get a bike along that lane, if you are going to compile a list of lanes for others to use, you need to make sure they are all 100% legal to ride.

All of the lanes on the site (besides Kent) have been taken from council official lists only.

So yes, they are all legal. Which ones are you not sure about?

The Milton street lanes are still legal but where it crosses the railline it is footpath only so each byway is a deadend (as the website correctly states).

Have you ridden the lanes?

Yes, a video of most lanes in Sussex and Surrey is on the website, so you can watch me ride them yourself. Have a good look around, which ones do you think are illegal?

if you are going to compile a list of lanes for others to use, you need to make sure they are all 100% legal to ride.

I can send you the council documents so you can check them if you'd like. I'm not in the business of advocating illegal riding

Is there a pm function on this forum? I must be being a retard, I can't find it?????

Todd, wanted to talk to you about the illegal lanes, I'm worried something is wrong on the site.

Could you contact me please?

 

[SvenUK]

Any of you lads go a memory map file of the Hampshire Lanes? The council have nothing but their interactive map in that tiny tiny window, it's impossible to use

Met this bunch of rag-tag hooligans at Alton today..

The infamous Water Lane step - This is getting tougher each time I visit - The Beavers put together a makeshift ramp so we could have a chance of getting up.

The step caught a few unlucky ones out.

The best bit was watching Darren (Horse) manhandle the beast up the step - Full beans, the whole bike was airborne with the front wheel a long way up. (missed the action pic and only got the aftermath!))

I think everyone will agree that Horse should win the 'Best Rider of the Day' award - (on the first lane too!)

We blitzed around so many trails, I have no idea where we ended up. Great leading Dave. Some really nice ones which I am going to have to have another go at.

Fag Break.

After a stop-off for lunch, half the group had decided to head home, but the foolish few stayed to head up onto Butser Hill (Didn't realise it was so high - there's still snow up there!)

Pinky (Dave) was obviously quite tired, he kept wanting to have a lie down - Counted about 15 times

We did a fair few lanes after Butser - However, the river bed lane had a few interesting steps to contend with (thanks for the push Brian) - Brian decided that he would follow Darren's approach and gas it, with spectacular results!

Real good crack today. A great laugh. I peeled off about 3.30pm to head for home as the only lanes left were the ones I was most familiar with. However, got within 5 miles from home and found I too had a brand new nail in my tyre. Some b*gger must have scattered them around the trails as both Phil and I got punctures. Rang the wife to bring the trailer and eventually got home around 5pm.

Enjoyed the day, good group, right speed. Brilliant. Looking forward to the next one.

feck, I did a few of these lanes in reverse at the weekend with the Southern TRF... Water Lane definately lived up to its name, but that step looks a lot different and deeper going the other way.

Impressive you managed to get a GSA up it, looks like there was more of a step (than a drop) when you did, but still impressive.

it's nice to know someone can work out where I've been

looks like I got the first one right, but that was easy as my track log show me dotting back and forth trying to workout if I really did want to ride up there

Nice of those on this run to put a response in
