Read about green laning as seen through Lauren ‘Sunshine’ Eaton's windscreen at The Green Lane Association, and find out what’s hot, or not, in the laning world each month. Enjoy!
A brave new world…
Hurrah, we can lane again (in England)! We are thankfully beginning to get our freedom back, but, as the country begins to rebuild a new sense of normality, well, in England at least, Wales and Scotland still remain under much more stringent lockdown restrictions (subject to possible change in July), just like every other industry the laning world is not exempt from post-covid challenges… and I’m still not exempt from trying to explain varying, complex and sometimes ambiguous government advice from two different countries in a simplified way that reads well - the sooner this is over the better!
While the emerging post-viral situation is a far cry from a Mad Max-esque post-apocalyptic dystopian reality, things have changed, and will probably continue to do so for some time.

In some cases we have cause to celebrate, GLASS has had a record month for new members, over 100 signed up in one week in June - 30 in one day! We welcomed well over 200 new members over the month! You’re all awesome by the way!
But other differences do pose new things to think about and be aware of... Laning has always been a sensitive hobby, particularly since the NERC Act of 2006. For those who are not aware the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act (2006) removed vehicular rights from any public rights of way not shown on the definitive map at that point in time, and also from any dual status unclassified roads.
