BOATs in Northumberland and Borders area
« on: April 25, 2023, 11:47:16 AM »
My S2a has just relocated from Wensleydale to Scotland, where, of course, there are no green lanes.
I am planning a meet-up with a pal from Durham and would like any advice on where we could enjoy a long off road drive in the S2a. I would be more interested in getting into the hills on tracks, rather than mud plugging and wading!!
Any suggestions please!

Ian get in touch with Phil Vasey the Borders AR, I am sure that he will be able to point you to quite a lot of stuff round Alston in Weardale

Coldberry End is the highest publicly driveable byway in England, which is at the top of Teesdale.

I once got my P38 well stuck in a snowdrift and it took three vehicles to tow it out.

Many thanks Phil. I dropped you an email because I wasn't sure what your forum name might be. Now I know!

P.s. the closer to Berwick the better for me - minimises the tarmac to be covered in the S2a

Or you could join GLASS, and have access to Trailwise?
