Summary so far...

 

[Snooky]

Clive, don't suppose you know the height restrictions on some of those lanes do you?
The ones north of Basingstoke across to Whitchurch have had heavy use by the 4x4's and have seen a few areas where they have decided to use the ground around them as a play ground, so not in keeping with the rules etc, but we like the ones over that way as close to us, you seem to have missed a few from Ramsdell, or is it just your map not showing them too well, some of them are the tree routes from hell
Will need to get my maps out and start marking these off as good for the landy or not

Difficult to say about the height - some where I have mentioned fallen trees etc you wouldn't be able to get a 4x4 down - but generally the others will be ok - when riding there are always thin branches & brambles to duck and some branches might be a problem for a windscreen but I guess you pack a saw
There are a couple South of Ramsdell I've yet to document - can't see any others near there (on OS 144 anyway).
We saw a couple of illegal mini-motocross tracks but didn't have time to stop and play
Post up further info/photos you collect - I'm sure some of the tracks characteristics change a lot throughout the year

Great Sounding Routes!

Hi - Mick / Clive, excellent fotos! - All these are pretty close to me in Farnham - never done any off-road before but am booked on the BM course in a fortnight so hopin to feel a bit more up 4 it!! Do you fancy hookin up 4 a run sometime??

 

[Clive]

clive if your ever green laning near to andover (the pogo is running on proper knobblies so cant/wont travel to far on the tarmac to meet-up) i'd like to tag along

Noted - perhaps we can make a start on a similar thread for OS Explorer Map 131

Have fun on the course.

Keep an eye on the Thames Valley and Off Road Events sections - most of the time I'm out and about at short notice.

While out yesterday, I missed the start of the Byway I was looking for and ended up along the Harrow Way - this wasn't there the last time

SU522520
<a href="http://www.zooomr.com/photos/Clive/2414936/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/2414936_3a00042b99.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="SU522520" /></a>

a bit of height and width restriction

Luckily someone has hacked a bike sized hole either side of the obstruction, but if you go along there in your 4x4 take a chainsaw and sort it out

Hi CLive,

If I click on the picture it says that the page cannot be found...
How can I get the waypoints?

Thanks
