Just tried that - but it's a sat nav e-commerce site - couldn't see a single map

On the off chance I also tried Wayfinder - the national catalogue of Rights of Way is this the one you meant ?

Cheers,

Where are you looking at going too, and what time, may be able to pop along for the morning, if you can put up with a 45mph max, 1972 serie3......

Need to get permission though

Dont think its on now mate....Xmas eve has suddenly got very busy...According to "She who must be obeyed".. Will probably do it New Years Eve....
And 45mph is cool with me... My Disco has been modded for offroading not going fast mate...We normally venture out from Chartham Hatch, back of Canterbury in Kent, then work our way towards Ashford.. I Will let you know closer to New years Eve...Merry Xmas..

Check out www.offroadroutes.com Gives you ANY byway!! In the country!!!...And is updated on a regular basis to cover the ones that are reclassified... Also has Sat nav facilities...Kicking or what..

I,ve had a look at my site i use for Greenlaning routes and it shows one at the bottom of Charing Hill. Its local name is Stokers head(i think).. Any one know what its like?? Seems to go on for a long way?? And it seems like it is, or runs parrallel with Pilgrims Way/walk..

Looking forward to it mate, be good to get the tyres dirty......

Let me know, cant do the 29th as fitter doing some work on the truck most of the morning, plus I need to fit new reverse camera, mudflaps etc.....Serves me right for reversing into pillar.

Had a quick look at that site, there is a longish route from Ashford to Dover that looks good, but you have to pay for the map to locate it, how do you get the free maps.....

There,s a couple of sites that i cross reference with...Wayfinder, the national catalogue of "BOATS" (byways open to all traffic) gives me the printout of the route and offroading.net(i think) gives me the start and finish of the route before i have to pay...I,ll bring the print out of all the sites i have when we meet up...Its probably gonna be the day after Boxing Day which i believe is Wed 27th december...All them Ramblers walking off there Xmas 8000+ Calorie intake...Tee hee hee..I,ll let you know sometime on Boxing Day..Keep the pc on yeah... And dont worry bout your Landy...If you get stuck i,ll pull you out...Could pull a house down with my Disco since fitting 2 inch lift kit, then getting a further 2 inches lift with the 265/75/16 All terrain nobblies that went on the day after, giving me a massive 4 inch + of lift...Should be able to get yours a little muddy i reckon...Washed mine today at work with the Jet wash, and i did,nt know it was green underneath all the mud from last week ...
Not often its clean...
I even had a birds nest inside the front end cap of bumper, there was SO much mud in there! Be in touch..

I did have a look at my street map, and that shows the North Downs way, between two parts of the Pilgrims way, not sure if that is what you mean, I would think there must be a few routes down that way, Charing, Challock etc....
