I have a feeling the .gpx file has been sent to you all as text
If this is correct, PM me your email address and I'll send it by email

Not that I know of but if you join GLASS you get access to Trailwise which is a searchable database of green lanes.

It's worth it if you want to find lanes, and know if they are scratchy etc.

David, drove your route today, fairly easy. In a couple of places, the lanes are a bit over worn, but otherwise all OK.
Thanks for the file. If you have any suggestions for other local lanes, I'd be glad to hear from you.

First one was heading north on Back
Lane from Darley Dale. Then around Beeley close to Hell Bank Plantation, finally on the road out of Edensor in Chatsworth Park.There are two rules for success,

Nice easyish ones? I've scratched & banged my previous Landys, but couldn't warrant doing this to the new one,

They are all safe if you take your time. There are a couple of places with branches or brambles sticking out. As we get to summer, there will be more overhanging, but nothing too serious.

Viewranger. You can buy maps by the tile in 1:25000 or 1:50000, or you can buy areas. There are also free maps, but whilst they are OK for rough planning, you really need the paid maps to be sure of where you are. I think the free ones are also online only, so if you don't have a data connection, you can't look at them. Not 100% certain, I haven't explored all of the features myself yet.
It also records your track if you want it to. And you can import GPX routes from other devices/software.There are two rules for success,
