Not many lanes in Suffolk. Lots of TRO's :-(
You could try the local Landy club SLROC - Suffolk Land Rover Owners Club
and or keep an eye here:

Your not far from Essex and most of the lanes are North West (Uttlesford and Braintree)

There are some good lanes in Suffolk, although last time, I left my landy at home and took the kids out in our Delica on road tyres - it was mostly very flat and sandy so 2wd was fine.
We found loadsa chestnuts
and ended up at a beach near Sizewell, and we had fun exploring WW2 bunkers / look out thingys / pill boxes
I did however manage to roll my 90 on a lane in Suffolk a few years ago :doh:
Best bet is to join a local club.

Hi Craig,
There are quite a few lanes around Thetford and Kings Forest.I'm a member of GLASS but those guys don't seem to out and about that much. I lane about every 4 - 6 weeks (depending on family commitments) - there's also a bunch of local lads that can be found on Facebook - called MUdHunters 4x4 - they're often out in Thetford, sometimes at night!
cheers
Darren

Hi Ginge,
One of the reasons I didn't join them was that they didn't seem to be an official club.
I've also seen some of the comments on the GLASS forum about some of the official clubs in East Anglia going out and making a mess of lanes, so I'm not surprised an un-official club have been going out and making a mess as well.
It seems that the MudHunters are content on trying to get stuck when the Greenlane / TreadLightly code says that this is the last thing you should be doing.......
Have you come across them yourself?

Hi Darren,
MUDhunters are not the only ones, there are loads of people who do like to go and fling mud and get stuck, its human nature i suppose to push boundaries.
I like to go and get upto my doors in mud too, but i do it at a designated site and not on public roads.
These people are either un educated or they don't care.Ive never come across them personally, if i did though id report them the same as i would report anyone who i see abusing lanes. Like you say the TL and GLASs code of conduct id there to respect lanes and al users, these fools give us all a bad name.

The only time I've bumped into the MUDHunters they were clearing a green lane blocked by fallen trees.

Kev,
Looking at some of their pictures in Facebook it looks they MAY have been off-piste, but can't be sure....
I'm just very nervous of getting involved with "non-offical" clubs as there's no accountability there.....they also seem to have a habit of getting stuck.....
I don't want to jump to any assumptions but want to play safe for now....
cheers
Darren

Hi guys,
I live in Suffolk and always up for a bit of laning! I mainly go around Thetford Forest but am always browsing maps to find other lanes!
