That is an interesting snippet, as "Green Lanes" are still public highways I do not see how your insurance can refuse to cover you on them - and how can I tell the difference between a Green Lane and any other narrow country lane?
Either way it sounds as if what you are saying is do not use a GS or similar for this lark, and that is what I meant by the TRF being serious folk.
I have taken to a number of unpaved roads abroad, including two-up on a ZZR1400 with my mate following two-up on his GTR1400, I never felt as if I needed to be wearing anything different, or an inevitable accident coming our way, we just rode steadily taking into account the conditions and the bikes we were on.
My GS has also taken me along some pretty grotty lanes and tracks home and abroad, and again without me feeling as if I need a works crosser and support crew, OK some would have been easier and faster on a lighter bike, but the GS managed it fine.
I get the impression the TRF rides outs are more along the lines of Enduro riding than pottering along dirt tracks and gravel lanes which is what I would like to try.
I may well join next spring to get the lowdown on rights of way in the area, the really crap dull ones nobody wants to ride will probably suit me fine
