I don't want to be a miserable git (but I am) but if a lane is 20" deep in mud or there is a high chance of you tipping your truck over - do you not think you shouldn't be driving it???
Don't get me wrong, I've done Chapelgate before it closed and other challenging lanes and have got stuck and used waffles and a winch etc, but muddy messes don't get better by us driving them, hence voluntary TRO's exist. Cars on their sides leak oil and break glass all over lanes (not every time I know but there is a fair chance).
We have enough people wanting to stop us using lanes without giving them ammunition and then posting it on the interweb for the haters to find us in their eyes "boasting about it".
I'm not having a pop but just ask you to think before you drive a lane like these and certainly before you post about ones that have been a little dodgy to drive if you got caught out etc. I mean - ground anchors on Greenlanes! Come on! Get to a pay and play site people!
I'll stop and get off my soap box and shut up now!

You can drive a greenlane for a challenge. Read Dave's blogs on the Bits4Vits website. They drive challenging lanes and have to use all sorts of tricks, like lockers etc to go the hard way up a lane rather than down. However, when you look at the lanes they drive, they are rock and hard bases that will not suffer from use like a muddy, rutty lane. Their difficulty lies in being cross axled, not lack of grip due to the ground being a mess.
If you are considerate towards walkers etc, there should be no issues in that.
It's boggy messes that are the obvious issue.
