Slow &
Steady.

Good lanes. Good company. Scenic routes, good company and enough variety to make the day interesting — without treating the countryside like a racetrack.

Scenic rather than technical. A good introduction to green laning and exactly the sort of day Slow & Steady is about.

Don't be
that
4×4.

Green lanes are roads, not playgrounds. Our green lane tours use them legally, responsibly and with enough mechanical sympathy to get everybody home.

01

Legal lanes only

Routes are planned around legal vehicular rights of way and adjusted when restrictions, closures or conditions demand it.

02

Small groups

Less disruption, easier communication and a much nicer day out. We aren't interested in turning the lane into a convoy.

03

Drive to the ground

If a lane is too wet, too fragile or simply not sensible on the day, we change the plan. The route serves the countryside, not the ego.

04

Be decent

Slow for walkers, horses and cyclists. Say hello. Shut gates. Pick up rubbish. Give green laning the reputation it deserves.

Nothing complicated

How it works.

Bring a road-legal, mechanically sound vehicle, a bit of common sense and a willingness to enjoy the day rather than conquer it.

1

Choose a bimble

Pick a scheduled day or ask about a private trip for your own small group.

2

Get the briefing

We'll send the meeting point, timings, vehicle guidance and what to bring.

3

Meet & check

Quick introductions, radio check, sensible vehicle check and the plan for the day.

4

Go bimble

Drive, stop, chat, have a brew and leave the lanes in good shape.

✓

Are the lanes legal?

Yes. Routes are planned around legal vehicular rights of way and changed when restrictions, closures or conditions require it.

🐾

Can I bring my dog?

Dogs are welcome on The Pub Run. Keep them secure in the vehicle and under control at stops and around livestock.

“The best day out isn't the one where you went fastest. It's the one you didn't want to end.”

That, more or less, is the whole idea.
