hopefully I will be getting my first crm in the next week. I was just wondering if there was anyone willing to have a ride out and show me some of the local green lanes? I live in seaford which is inbetween brighton and eastbourne but am willing to travel.

Hi Lloyd, welcome to the site, I would recommend investing in a Trail Riders Fellowship, [TRF] membership.
You get to go out and learn all the local lanes, that are legal.
Here,s a couple of sites for your area, if you feel like grabbing some OS maps for your self.

And the TRF as well,

Good luck, I'm up in mid Surrey, so a bit of a hike for you.
Regards Mike
