step 1 buy a landrange O/S map (154 covers cambridge i think)
step 2 look on the map for routs marked like a path but with little pinkish + signs (these denote BYWAYS) instead of the normal dashes (these are paths)
step 3 look on you local council website and look for the definitive map/ TRO pages these will give you locations of closed lanes
step 4 contact you local LR club they will have a RIGHTS OF WAY OFFICER and ask him/her what lanes are open
step 5 find likeminded individuals in LANDROVERS (slittys wil get stuck and you dont want to spend the whole day towing them)
step 6 enjoy the lanes responsably no just going off into the bushes, unless it is definatly a track dont drive it you will give the anti 4x4 lot ammo

Provided you don't mind buying more maps as the scale is larger, the OS explorer maps are a lot more detailed and better for laning.

Worth noting that the same +++ marks denote a byway on either map, but they're GREEN on the explorer maps and RED on the Landranger.

Cheers,

There are also COUNTY ROADS, which are shown as white and don't have +++ marks because they are technically roads not paths. However the OS map makes no distinction between county roads (RoW) and private tracks. They're all shown white. Don't know if there are many in Cambs but they include, eg, old droving roads on the Yorkshire moors. That's another reason to go join a club.

Don't forget ORPA's they have Colored dots on them to distinguish them from ordinary roads. Problem is you can't tell what the road surface will be until you drive them..

ORPAs? You must have been buying new maps! None of them on my one-inch. Damned modern stuff.
You can often work out which are the County roads because a footpath or other right of way will just stop when it joins a white road. Normally this means the white road is a public one, although increasingly County roads and byways have TROs on them nowadays. Which are not shown on OS maps either.
