About to start- lane leads to the stepsThe idea of this blog is to advise greenlaners, novices or visitors to this area lanes they can drive in the Corwen area in standard 4x4's. All have been driven in 2006, you will need a maps of the area; OS Landranger Bala 125 a must; & maybe Denbigh 116. If possible plan the route before you set off, but not necssary stick to it, Grid refs given in nearly all posts.
Strongly advise you go in a group, (email me above, I am often in the area) in fact do not advise anyone to go alone unless you have a good rescue plan. I've known people to be stuck for days. Corwen car park @ SJ 078 435 is a good place to meet up (well stocked mini-super market), and fill up with fuel before you get there. Corwen area suffers as most country areas do from no garages.
Take the following
Plenty of water, extra food, hot drinks or means of, extra warm clothes, waterproof coat.
Mobile phone (will not work in places) and change for payphones
Strong ropes or straps, shakles, spade, jack, spare tyre, and wheel lock tools
Some basic tools, WD40, rags, torch etc.
Remember take your time, allow for breakdowns, stops, and photo shoots.
Have a great time, enjoy it and have fun, get muddy, cold, wet, tired, but be safe. Cannot expect any responsablity for anything that might happen. Due to the nature of these lanes damage might occur that can be of a serious nature.
