Hello guys I'm just starting out with green laning and looking at what type of protective equipment I need to. I have the basics like gloves and helmet but really looking for recommendations what type of body armour/ knee braces people wear. Ideally something that's not too uncomfortable but not goi...

As not everyone can get on lane clearing. 202-036 GRM 5552 Rocombe/Gabwell area Multiple trees down. Met 2 riders at the top, they cleared what they could to get up it. So we rode down it, that was very difficult! No idea how they got up it.

During a recce yesterday one of the classic runs out from Parkers is blocked. Not only that but its a narrow lane and you need to be able to pivot turn to head back down. Or reverse which is what we did taking quite some time. so unless a clearance has taken place avoid this on your T2T planning. The lane is j...
Hi as a newbie just trying to figure out how I get the routes into a satnav. As a technophobe it needs to be simple want to avoid plotting routes if possible. Thanks
Went to north Devon finally after planning a ride that was meant to happen over Christmas holidays but I got ill and had been put off up until now. We parked outside mole valley (North Devon tyres) south molton and had a a nice quick bap from the kenneford burger van. Unloaded and got to the roads in the l...
Hello guys I'm new to the group and look forward to meeting some people getting out for a ride. I've just picked up a second hand beta x trainer and whilst I'm getting confident with maintaining the bike I would ideally like to find a mechanic to give it a once over. Does anyone have a mechanic they coul...

For nearly ten years now, normally in March and November I have had the pleasure of show these guys around our beautiful lane, their base being at Tuckenhay at one of their brothers houses and a few staying in the pub. We have also shown them around the plains and Wales over the years. A great day, for day...
You may be familiar with these, I was not. A fully waterproof case BUT with the added bonus that you can run directly from our normal USB set ups. As per Sat navs.
Hi all The Grizzly is on again, so best avoiding the lanes and back roads around Beer, Seaton and Branscombe on Sunday, and be careful on the Saturday too as lots of people setting up the course.
Noel has managed to contact John son and he has updated us with his progress. John is still quite unwell and back in hospital. We wish him all the best and are thinking of him. As before he will not be able to process any requests. Trevor
Cant for the life of me find it, but am I right in thinking Somerset has a stash of Trackers for sale? Does anyone know who is the appropriate person to contact?

Dear All John Leah is currently in hospital and unable to deal with any of the stuff he usually does for us. Please, if you have any requests or run reports to send to him, can you hold off until further notice. I will let you all know once he is back in the saddle. regards Trevor
Today I was led around the fabulous Cornish Countryside by Nick Pearn and joined by 6 other keen-to-ride friends...... although one, Dean, who was a new face to most of us had to peel off for home unexpectedly after only the first 30mins or so. Not quite sure why but he certainly missed a cracking day !!!...
Edit: I meant to say, I suspect this is not news to anyone as there were plenty of bike tracks on the trail.. I emailed this to Devon GRM, but thought users may be interested. I wanted to post in the overlay description forum but I am not allowed in there. I rode Dandy Lane 5229 just north of Exeter today. Th...
Monthly get together at the Dolphin, Tuesday 14th January, Navigation evening This months gathering at the Dolphin will be an evening based on navigation around the lanes.

Does anyone know of an insurance company who can offer 1 days insurance to cover off road riding in Spain? Or can I add it to my existing policy? Voyager quoted me so much money, it makes the day trip not worth it.
