I think you have to remember that these are roads.

Basically all roads started off unsurfaced, then gradually the more used ones got surfaced, leaving only the un-popular ones as "green lanes".

However, as people use them then the local authority will be obliged to repair and even upgrade the surface. The way Strata Florida in Wales is going it will be a Dual Carriageway soon.

Its a bit of a catch22 I am afraid

If I get lower enough gearing and a tow hitch bolted upside down then I will drag my trailer upside down along these lanes :laugh: Any one got a mobile concrete nibbler :laugh:
But seriously tho this was part of the reason for selling off the arb. :angry:
As hardly ever used it at all
