Welcome to the Green Lanes Access Group web site, formed as part of an initiative to help and educate people who are looking to use the green lanes of England and Wales for motorised recreational access. Whether you are an experienced laner or a complete novice we hope you will find this site (and the GLAG Forum Here) both informative and a major resource for all your laning activities. For the novice we offer the chance to make contact with experienced laners who are willing to take you out and show you around your local area. For the more experienced there is the chance to become a “trusted member” where you will have access to Memory Map overlays from around the country. Run by laners for laners registration is completely free, so join up and get involved.
