Switch to Relief to strip the map back to bare terrain — the shape of the climb, and nothing else.

Ridden this. Easy and entertaining has a few gates to open and close as it passes through farmers fields where there's cattle. Be more interesting when it's wet!

JoeyreviewedSandy Lane
Clay and sand, was closed now open. Lots of dog walkers but everyone seems friendly. Nice and easy with some climbs and deep channels. Best starting at the bottom off church lane, not the residential side

Seasonal closure, very very tight corners around the cottage, with expensive looking posts you don't want to hit

Kei2TheCityreviewedShute Forestry Lane
A nice, long, not very technical rip through the forest. Mainly compacted rocks and mud, slippery in parts due to the lack of direct sunlight on the track. First 20% of the track is loose gravel with a few pot holes, 2 very unasuming speed bumps before leading into the beginning of the woods. This leads into compacted mud for 30% of the track. Higher, larger rock content toward the Axminster end, which is 30% of the track, which opens to very light and flat final 20% i'd say. Overall, not particularly technical but you can get some good speed, and good views through the forest.

The story

About Find Green Lanes

I'm Dan Bailey from Christchurch. After 12 years away from biking I bought a Himalayan 450 — and immediately went looking for byways to ride. I searched and searched the internet, and even when I did track a few down, actually navigating to them was a pain.

So Find Green Lanes was born. Now I can pick a byway, hit Navigate, and I'm taken straight to it in Google Maps. From there it grew into something more social — interactions between users, photos, messaging and much more.

It's early days, but it's coming together nicely.

The map's waiting.
