Kent County Greenlanes

Good evening, I've not long moved to Kent from the West Country and as far as I understand the vast majority of the greenlanes in the County run on a permit scheme, are the lanes worth applying for the permit for access to them? I'm looking for lanes to just amble along on and just enjoy the driving as we've enough tracks and lanes on the estate full of deep ruts and mud holes to push both my D90 and her truck to there limits but not many you can just relax and drive!!

There's only one permit scheme I know of which covers three lanes, all the rest can be driven as usual. Check for TRO's though, as they can come and go.

Ah right ace, I was led to believe they were all pretty much under the permit scheme. Do you know what the lanes are like in the area?

They are ok, nothing too muddy but nice countryside, can do a run out around a few if you want to check em out

Yeah that would be ace, my landy's off the road at the moment but should road legal in two/three weeks so I'll let you know as soon as it is, thanks!!

I'm back on the road again now and even have a BOAT pass so if your heading out any time and don't mind me tagging along give me a shout!!

And me! I'm North Kent just of J4 of the M25

Won't be able to do anything till end August now but will pencil something for then. Couple of us heading up to East Anglia to do Thetford forest this Saturday, then Billing Sunday if anyone wants to join us for either of those.

End of August would be great for me, I'll be free'd up from work a bit more and have a few more annoying niggles sorted on the landy.

Never forget your first love mate ;0)

So - who's up for an outing over one of the next few weekends ? Thinking about doing the Shadoxhurst byways before they close for the winter.

Count me in, I've a leaky expansion tank at the moment but it didn't stop me getting back from Bristol so shouldn't present any problems for a bit of laning. Do they close a lot of the lanes around this way then?

Hiya - sounds like a plan, but I'm on hols for next 2 weeks and then hoping to get to the adventure overland show at the end of the month. When do the lanes close?

Ok,
