Sunday 18/10 Green laning Basingstoke

[lolly]

I'm planning a green laning ride near basingstoke.

I've found a green lane's map in the basingstoke area. As soon as possible i'll show the track

We could meet at 9 in basingstoke and start for green lane!

It's my first time in basingstoke... so it's a "adventure" rideout based on a map i've found in an old thread.

please join, i don't want to go alone...

asap i attach at the thread the map in .gdb extension for who use garmin gps (me )

 

[lolly]

this is the rideout:

and attached you can find the file for mapsource

we meet us at 9 at the total petrol station on fleet road, farnborough

Just out of curiosity are you going on GS or a pogo?

 

[lolly]

I have GS...

 

[Shep]

Its been a while since i've ridden some of those tracks but i think some parts of those south of Basingstoke could be very interesting on a GS.

Good luck and don't forget the photos

Hi ya.

Hi lolly, im up for this with out a doubt, some of the lanes you have ear-marked are awesome lanes, i ride these lanes on my gsa and if we get some rain in the mean time it will make them even better. If i read your route right i think you have marked the water lane track, its a beauty. So im up for a bit of fun. There is a old thread that ben (aka motorhead, who was took from this world tragically, Rest in peace Ben) put a video on here, search for basingstoke greenlaning muddy and fun.

Where you planning on meeting up.?

I'm really sorry but I dont know,I've seen some pics and it don't seem so hard, probably if you have a good pair of tyres could be "easy", and in the hardest "ways" we cold help you

 

[lolly]

I've found the map (thanks to clive) there:basingstike rideout: there are some photos

 

[smaytum]

So how many / who is going?

 

[lolly]

Looking at the pics, i would say that these byways are perfect for a beginner. Just take it slow.

So how many / who is going?

OK, so i plan to go along as well. Just be aware that it is a 120 mile journey for me to get there, so don't leave without me !

Lolly, you have my mobile number from the text i sent you on Friday. I will let you know in the morning by text if i think i will be late. Plan to leave Folkestone at 7am

 

[lolly]

Don't want to be the one holding back the rest...

You guys sound like you know what you're doing so I'll break my greenlaning virginity another way and join you on your next one maybe.

 

[lolly]

really a lovely ride!

We wait for horse1200 but at 9:30 we decide to start the ride!
we have done a little bit more than an half ride and it was 4pm!
nice the first lanes, a little bit hard the last 3-4... a lot of mud
some pics!
