Recce day out

Out of the "Bocage"


During the hot summer of 2006 several of us went on a recce day to find lost and under-used lanes, we picked lanes not normally used or off well-known routes. It was a great day out meeting farmers and locals who had not seen any other 4x4's for years, to our surprise many wished us well and wanted us to visit more often in order to keep the undergrowth down! They also advised us on the correct ROW as the map is not always accurate since lanes change and some have been diverted. Nor did we meet any trampers, trotters, or crankers.

About us

We are a small group of mainly greenlaners who own and drive various 4x4's and other capable vehicles , our main activity is laneing, but we also organise among ourselves on a private basis relevant off road activity's.
We are not a club, because nearly all our loose group are members of other 4x4 clubs, and nearly all in agreement another club is not needed, we are however Internet based and communication is though forums, email, text (SMS) message. We encourage Novices and many of us go laning on our own with the hope the others will help if there is a problem. In 2007 we will have a rescue coordinator ready most weekends. One of us has taken on the task of keeping the websites up to date, it was evolved from another site so please bear with us.
