Is there any TRO/UCRs Local to Solihull (Excluding Temple Balsall to Barston as you'd rip the underneath of a Fronty to bits on that one)?

Hmm, I think your terminology might be slghtly off here:

TRO : Traffic Regulation Order (road has been closed, temporarily or otherwise)
UCR : Unclassified Country Road

What I think you mean is:

BOAT : Byeway Open to All Traffic, and
ORPA : Other Route with Public Access

Having just had a quick look on the OS map, there is'nt much in the Solihull area, except maybe at Rowington and Bushwood Grange, but as they appear on the map as dual status (ORPA/Path), you'd better check with the local rights of way officer, as post NERCA, all dual status routed have been downgraded to the lesser right.

A UCR is just what is says, an Unclassified Country Road, often appearing on OS 1:50k maps as a "white" with either solid or dashed sides. An UCR is a road, surfaced and maintained by the council (normally).

I think what you are looking for "green lanes", ie, lanes that have not been tarmaced (sealed), that offer a little bit more of a challenge than just another bit of tarmac.

But remember that if the "green lane" is a challenge, then it should not probably be driven as we have a responcibility to respect the countryside and not damage it further by wheelspinnig or even driving off track to find an easier route round an obstacle.

I'm a little busy until the end of June (as Chief Marshal for the 3 day Rally of the Midlands), but after that I'm sure to want to go laning again.

I have the greatest respect for our countryside as I was bought up in London and sometimes staying in Kent!
