lol . heres hoping theres a few members down the south west .

yeah lets hope there is some intrest

will be down you area at the end of august/september for a week hopefully so could meet up if you want

Unfortunately, you cant go off-road on the moors..you can only use the roads going through them.
There are very few lanes in Cornwall now.....most being classed as footpaths or bridleways, although the Surf boys have a couple way down west.
Main place is Baldhu nearTruro, you can go anywhere as its unregulated, but beware of DEEP water and LOADS of TREES!!
There are some pictures of the site in this section.

Myself and Jim (woodwizard) usually link up with the Toyota Surf guys when they have their annual Run To The Sun weekend, but this years has been cancelled due to health problems.
There are lanes around Plymouth area, some going right through to Torbay, some more (non challenging) ones around Newton Abbott.

The bad news is that I am shortly taking the Queens Shilling (well £2000 actually) and disposing :cry:

of my Fronty this week

after two happy years.

But if anyone wants to go to Balhu at any time, give me a shout and I'll lead you there (weekends only...its closed through the week) and I'll be your camera man

thanks for the info mate good to no
and yeah if your around aug/sept let me no will be good to meet up have a chat and :drink:

Hi Neal, There is Dundry off road on the 4th July if your interested, Compton Basset this Sunday the 14th June (very short notice)or the 28th June, or if you just want a quiet plod, there are a lot of green lanes around the Bristol/Mendip area .
Check out the following links. :lol:

Dundry I have never done in the dry. In the wet I would say that it is only useable with mud tyres and even then expect to get stuck. Compton Basset I did a couple of weeks ago with my road truck that has no modifications just BFG AT tyres. If you pick your routes you would be fine.

How much off roading have you done? If its very little I used a company just south of Bristol for off road training as I had been out of the scene for 20 years and wanted to brush up. He charged about £90.00 for a half day training bigginers course and was spot on. My insurance company then reduced my excess by £150 as I had taken an official course. :dance:

As for lanes I am a member of Bristol and west offroad club and they set up Greenlaning days so I let them do all the looking. They are worth having a look at and meet once a month for a pint and a chin wag. I know quite a bash around the Chew Valley if your interested we could sort out a small run to get you into it.

thats sounds good mate havent do anything like pay and play before have done some very light lanes when i lived in kent a few years ago but thats about it :oops:

just fancy having a proper go at it this time as i have no other hobbies at the mo and i have the 5x4 sat outside (my 2 year calls the fronty a 5x4 and its just stuck lol)

im not to far from chew valley bout half hour so so yeah we can sort some thing out when we both free etc that would be good
i think i would like to change the tyres first as there chunky but just road tyres dont want to be stuck every 5 mins :lol:

thanks for the advice mate

Woodwizzard and I are in Somerset - Exmoor, but the Tiverton side as opposed to North Devon.
I actually work in Highbridge, Burnham and Cheddar areas so just travelling that far for a greenlaning day would be much better for us. Had a quick look at the Bristol and West Offroad and saved to Faves.
Maybe we could get a small south west group together for a mini meet? :lol:

small world im living in highbridge now

OOOOooo yes...small world! :lol:

lol I've seen quite a lot of Frontys on the way to and from work once I'm off the M5 and onto the A38. Maybe there's an opportunity to increase the southwest membership....best get some flyers printed...LOL :lol:

sounds like a idea :lol:

well if you ever in the area and got a spare 5 min give us shout be good to say hello

Hi Neal
I'm an area youth worker for the North Sedgemoor Local Service Team. I was working in Highbridge Morland Hall on a Monday night but from next week I am doing some detached work around Highbridge and Burnham in the evening. If I see a Fronty flying around I'll give ya a wave..LOL :lol:

Mind you, I could get some strange looks as I know you are not alone in your choice of vehicle in this area! LOL :lol:

It would be good to get a few offroading days in fairly locally. Where we are on Exmoor most of the lanes are closed now.

im not sure on the lanes round hear but as said on the thread there are some round by chew vally area so that may be some where to start
as my fronty you will no it by the reg plate m61 our and its black
