TOPIC: A few lanes in Essex

A few lanes in Essex 1 year, 10 months ago #53787

I bought the other day a new OS map and had a bit of time today to check out a few lanes.Most of it was easy gravel stuff:(



Some of them could be interesting with the right amount of rain.It was slippery in places(lots of chalk)and with good rains we could have a mudbath in places.

All in all ideal for people which would like to start out green laning as there are only a few deepish ruts and even with decent rain it will be just deep puddle and mud jumping
