| Some basic green laning around Dartmoor/East Cornwall |
|
I'm after an area to take the family on some easy green laning in or around Dartmoor or East Cornwall to get them interested.
Any ideas?

Hi Benny,
I have not found any where yet. Do you know of anywhere we can go??? I could be up for getting together and maybe going out and having a nose????

Hi. Not really looked into it that much. Will have to check out maps etc. - must be some around SE Cornwall / Dartmoor etc. - certainly a lot of dodgy roads...! Benny

Sadly I'm floating around off the coast of Brazil at the moment, but I'm back in the uk on the 6th Nov. I will have a look at the maps and see what there is.

Sadly? Why, are you on a shipwreck? 
Seriously though, we are going to Falmouth over the new year and wonder if anyone knows of any mild green lanes in that area. There'll be a Freelander 2, a Disco 2 and a Landcruiser.

Brazil eh? that's interesting - what you floating on? I'm on a products tanker at present heading towards sunny Rotterdam...leaving G.O.M. behind and somewhere off the states at present. Don't do the Nav bit - Engineer. Benny

I'm on the "Oceanic Endeavour" which is a seismic vessel. I'm a Coxswain. The weather is rubbish down here at the moment and its work so I would rather be at home.

sailorboi - bet the weathers o.k! what about al them there pirate types? I was around there couple of years back on a VLCC - felt a bit like sitting ducks, we did have fire hoses and some barbed wire though! Did some bunkering off Benin - bunker barge was battened down / portholes welded over etc etc.
29salcombe - I know what you mean about rather being at home... I'm here to New Year just to add to it! Benny

Bit of a thread resurrection, but was searching for any info on some easy green lanes on Dartmoor and this thread popped up - rather than start a new one and all that....
Off to Dartmouth for a week, then doing the East Devon trek day on 18th Sept. So been looking to see if there are any easy green lanes I could go and visit while I am down there... anyone? MY2012 D4 HSE Nara Bronze with some extra stuff
