I want to play in Wales

[Rugged Rex]

My work is taking me to Abergavenny and it appears i may have a Saturday free for some muddy fun.

Any suggestions on where i could go greenlaning or a pay and play.

If any of you are in that area and are playing this Saturday could i tag along .

Any replies many thanks, ok now time to find a cheap B&B

Hello mate, i live just outside Abergavenny.

Try here for a decent B&B in town, I stayed ther last year

If there is a Pay and Play site local, I have yet to find it. As for lanes, im affraid im not much help, as have had no one to go laning with who knows the area

[Rugged Rex]

Thanks for the tip on the B&B i am in for Thursday & Friday night if you fancy a drink I was ready to dust off the tent

I thought wales was an off roading mecca, hey i do not mind a little trip to a good mud bath, are there any further afield

No worries Nick

Not sure what im up to at the weekend yet, but ill let you know if i can meet for a drink at least....some one mention drink

There are plenty of cracking lanes in Wales, but iv only driven ones in North Wales

Different councils have different views over rights of way and it would seem that there are not that many BOATs or ORPAs of any length around here and i have not driven any of the short ones anyway

If you want to get muddy in Wales, go find a Pay & Play site.

If you fancy exploring the ancient heritage of byways in an area, drive with due consideration to the locals and other byway users and the rest of us may continue to enjoy said lanes.

Due to the activities of a minority, the anti-4x4 brigade managed, through Parliament, to reduce the byway network open to motorised vehicle by half - do not give them more ammunition to get us banned from the rest of the network.

The main reason i don't know any local lanes is because i wont go on my own. The only laneing i have done has been on trips organised on this forum, lead by experienced, responsible people.

[Rugged Rex]

I would only wish to undertake a pay and pay site, byway laws are too ........well you know complicated and liable to prosecution only a court room away.

I may try and find some choice country lanes these are nice to drive too

If its pretty tarmacked county lanes with stunning views and a couple of fords, i may be able to come up with a route

Leave it with me Nick and ill try and sort something out for Saturday.

Ill keep you posted

[Rugged Rex]

Sorry as per the PM i am now in Portsmouth this weekend.

I would very much like to take you up on this offer when the Abergavenny job comes in.

Sorry the Railway life never gives you that much time to plan, i will make sure the details are confirmed next time

Sorry and lets hope i ride with you soon

Nick

[fuzion]

No worries, Nick

Plans are afoot, as you know , for a lanes route in South Wales

Hopefully by the time you get posted here, I will have it covered

Hi,hope you don't mind me suggesting here, but wouldn't a O/S map tell you where the byways are etc? Think thats what they are called "O/S maps", they have more details on them and should show all sorts on them..
Hope that was of some use, but don't take my word for it I can get lost using Tom Tom!

Hope you do get the chance to go around Wales as its lovely here..
Good Luck!
