Green Lanes/ Public Byway's
Appreciate that depending on where you are in the country, some byways will be far too challenging or not appropriate for our vehicles but there's some more subtle casual routes out there...has anybody used them?
I had some good fun yesterday with some near me!! Very wet and muddy, but the car coped very well..and most importantly no damage done :-) http://www.bywaymap.com/ This site shows Public byways around the country. |

I off road a lot due to the nature of my work. I would NOT offroad in anything other than an actual pickup or SUV with height adjustable suspension. The potential for damage to the underside is very high.
There is no way I would subject an XC90 or XC60 or any other Volvo to this kind of stunt: imagen |
