Does anyone know of any roads in the above areas that are good for greenlaning/off roading. Nothing too hardcore, just something a standard Frontera would have much fun getting muddy in!
TIA

There are a few lanes in and around Ranmoor Common / Box Hill in Surrey.
Quite decent with a mixture of terrains ranging from Mud (weather depending) to stone, sand, chalk, etc. Some lanes require a bit more skill than others, but are quite narrow so you may end up with a few surface scratches from over hanging trees and bushes.
Also tend to be popular with ramblers so have to keep an eye out and obviously keep the speed down, but that goes without saying really.
Exactly where abouts in the South are you ?

There are quite a few around Leatherhead/Dorking, but I haven't driven any of them.
If there is enough interest I may look into organising another laning day out that way before the end of the year.
Other possibilities are Hailsham, or Hertfordshire/Essex borders
Keep checking back regually for South East meets, or why not put your name down for one of the off road meets already planned

Traffic lights in London are just rough guidelines

cheers for the replies, i'm near Reading in Berkshire. The Army have a decent off road course near Deepcut Barracks which are normally open and unattended. Still need to pop by and have a look though.
