|
|
Hi been looking at doing a bit of greenlaning and was looking for an os map I found one for my iPad at a cost of £11.99 I wasn't happy with paying that so spent a few day on google and found it for free on bling maps http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?encType=1&where1=United+Kingdom&cp=54.070999~-2.783999&FORM=MIRE1
Click on the drop box ROAD and go so OS. You can also choose satellite view. been past a few lanes today on the way to work and are clearly sign posted as byways
Hope this is of help to someone |

Some useful pages:
Where's the path? - has side by side OS and aerial photo, or various other maps. But the really useful thing is that you when you move the mouse pointer over one side, a cursor moves on the other. So if you follow a track on the aerial photo, you can follow it on the OS map too.
Trailwise maps - for checking the right of way status of tracks. It's not the definitive map, but it's a good starting point to see what green lanes are in an area. If you're a member of GLASS or LARA you get a lot more information returned. |

Hmm, it's a bit sparse that one - only one of the 40 or so green lanes I know of in my area is marked, and that's only a short 1km section at that.
I guess it relies on contributions and there's nobody in the North/East Yorkshire are contributing! |

Am I right in thinking that every green line on here I can drive down? It won't be a restricted byway or anything like that

I'd like to know this as I went to one today but it had no vehicles sign on it |
