Cornwall green lanes - Here's three good un's

Here is 3 little bits of the Trans Euro Trail that I always enjoy.
(Especially on my new Honda CRF300L)
Not too challenging, but weather dependant, as always.
Here is the TET site, where you can download the full GPX

Spent the past 3 weeks in Cornwall on my KTM 890 adventure. Did all these lanes and Lambriggan a few times, came from the other direction once and it’s much more challenging but great fun. Thanks for the recommendations.

Great video, thanks!

How are you finding the Honda . I'm 6"2 and 15.5 stone. Cheers for any information on this bike. Presently riding a drz 400 which I love but it's Kickstart only . Going to catch up on some of your other footage as going to get down to Cornwall when I've completed Devon. There are some nice ones in Devon and not too much tarmac on the bits I've covered so far

[@biscuitsalive]

It’s good. Missing my Tenere700 on the roads obviously. But when it’s very steep or slippy much happier on the lighter 300L. It is gutless around the high revs. But torquey in the low revs. Gearing is great. 1 and 2 super low for defending or climbing off road. And 6th gear pretty tall for cruising at 70mph. Suspension is squishy and basic. I think I will want to upgrade it. Around £500 will get suspension much better. So factor that price in. With your weight and any luggage it will be squashed right down stock. I’m about 13 stone and it feels too weak for me. It’s fantastic value. And reliable. And will get you anywhere your DRZ will. But just a bit underpowered and under sprung. So go into it knowing that. Personally the power is fun amount off road and torque and light clutch makes slow technical single track easy. So you will cover a lot of miles before getting tired. But you just may find it lacking in power and springs after a DRZ

Do I just put in lambriggan farm to get here? Just got a Yamaha yzf 250 and need some where to learn to ride

[@biscuitsalive]

Yep if you just put in lambriggan, that should get you there. Worth downloading Trans Euro Trail from the dot org main site. That has lots of legal green lanes on it.

Great video. Would love to tag along some time if I could. I’m down near Penzance Cheers Ben

[@biscuitsalive]

We have a small group on Facebook. “Cornwall trails group” feel free to join that and post when you want to ride.

Can't find your FB group? Cheers Steve

[@anywherenearzero]

Do you know of anywhere like in your video where I can take a 4x4 not anything hardcore don’t want any damage

[@biscuitsalive]

There is a good bit at botallack. (Above lands end) I’ve seen a bunch of 4x4s there. Nice views too. Think I have it on video… let me look

[@biscuitsalive]

Yep. If you go to this vid and go to 5:30 I show most of that run. Nice bit of coastline and only one tricky bit that you can easily drive around- kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHWzcoWGbZ2KkK8

[@whillock1]

Are you riding these on the stock IRC tyres?

[@biscuitsalive]

So far yes

[@whillock1]

@@biscuitsalive Good effort. I think I'll swap mine out before trying too much mud.

[@biscuitsalive]

@@whillock1 they don’t seem as bad as I was expecting.

[@porcini69]

Any of these ok for 4 wheels of only 2?

[@biscuitsalive]

I would check out Botallack or one near Holywell bay for 4x4. Both fun for four wheels. (And have nice views too) Both of TET.

[@biscuitsalive]

If you jump to 5mins in this vid. It shows you one of those. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHWzcoWGbZ2KkK8

[@porcini69]

@@biscuitsalive great thanks & soz I should have looked the comments first where you’ve answered this Q twice already 😂

[@angrymuffinsb]

Are these wide enough for vehicles?

[@biscuitsalive]

Some are. But depends on the car size

[@angrymuffinsb]

@@biscuitsalive WK2, on air so ground clearance should be ok

[@biscuitsalive]

@@angrymuffinsb yep nothing too tricky like a ledges etc. just narrow in places. But don’t take my word For it. Only taken bikes down most green lanes in Cornwall. I know there’s a good 4x4 run at Botallack tho. Fairly easy but great views

[@biscuitsalive]

@@angrymuffinsb if u look at this video it shows the bit I mean. Above lands end near Botallack- kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHWzcoWGbZ2KkK8

[@angrymuffinsb]

@@biscuitsalive perfect, thanks. I went up wheal busy, was quite good fun as it’s all flooded & muddy! Super narrow though

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Would you say they’re doable on a GS?

[@biscuitsalive]

Yep. With the right tyres and when it’s not too wet /muddy. Go with a mate tho. Just in case, you never know. I’ve never ridden a GS but I did all these lanes on my Tenere 700 and that’s pretty heavy.

[@biscuitsalive]

(And I’m not a big guy, so a T7 is probably like a GS on a big dude… if u see what I mean)

[@biscuitsalive]

Note, lambriggan going up hill (heading south) in muddy conditions is probably the hardest on a big bike, can be slippy after lots of rain..

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

@@biscuitsalive thanks for getting back to me with that awesome information. I’m 5ft 7, so a shorty on a giant of a bike 😂

[@biscuitsalive]

@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures I’m about the same size. But you maybe a better rider than so take everything I say with a pinch of salt. (Only been riding for couple of years) But I’ve ridden those lanes with guys on same Size sort of bikes as GS (1000cc adv bikes etc) So I think u will be fine. But like I said ride with someone in case you need help lifting/pushing
