VIP Member UKTJ Posted August 27, 2022 VIP Member Share Posted August 27, 2022 I find myself at an unexpected loose end on Monday. I thought I would maybe look to find some localism Green Lanes. I live in Hampshire close to both the Surrey and Berkshire. Linty boundaries, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 There are some really good lanes in North Hampshire, South of Basingstoke and heading westward. Twenty years ago I lived south of Basingstoke and worked in town. I used the byways everyday to get to and from work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Member doodle Posted August 28, 2022 VIP Member Share Posted August 28, 2022 we used to run lanes in and around Petersfield etc, Also lanes up and around Horsham. Used to go with "Thefourwheeldriveclub" unfortunately at a time where i didn't have anything to record the lanes etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Member UKTJ Posted August 29, 2022 Author VIP Member Share Posted August 29, 2022 In the end I followed @V’s suggestion. Not sure if I found the lanes he specifically meant, but I found some south of Basingstoke using the Hampshire cc Definitive Map. Nothing that dramatic and some were certainly little travelled judging by how overgrown they were, but a bit of traditional English countryside is always nice on a Bank Holiday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Did you visit Five Lanes End or go past the watercress beds at Mapledurwell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in fact I did all five lanes that meet at Five Lanes End. Went through Mapledurwell, but must have missed the watercress beds. After those lanes I continued south and went through one lane with what looked like a disused bridge near the start. That was probably the best lane I found and is where I stopped to take the snap of my TJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to go out with others, so that would be great. What is keeping your TJ off the road at the moment? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Member doodle Posted August 31, 2022 VIP Member Share Posted August 31, 2022 The normal rust around the rear control arm bracket and then the split down the chassis. So having it checked out soon to find out where I stand with the rest of it. Once that then woke out best solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
