Hi there from South Yorkshire, England

[Helirazor]

I did put a quick hello in one of the other parts of the new members section, but I now realise I'd have been better starting a new thread on here.

I'm from the county of South Yorkshire which is north east of England.

Although I don't currently have a quad I'm actively looking, so thought here would be a good place for advice, as the UK quad scene is a little limited to say the least.

I'm hoping to combine my quad usage, a little as a survey vehicle for work, and the rest for leisure of which some road work and trials (or green lanes as we call them) so it will have to be road legal.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to chatting with you all soon.

Thanks ajmboy, it seems a really great site!

How are the riding areas over there? Are there any designated or are there places you can go not far from you?

That is a very good question, we have "off road sites" where you can pay and play, but more are for 4x4's (mainly landrovers) most don't allow quads/atvs. I know the owners of a few as I also off road Jeeps, and they say I can use them with a quad.

We also have what are know as Green Lanes. These are old public by-ways, open to vehicles. There are many battles going on to get the "usage" changed so that they cannot by used by motorised vehicles.

I live not too far away from the Peak Park, and they are trying to keep everyone happy, but get loads of grief off walkers about 4x4's and trials bikes (and a few quads). As always its a few thats spoil it for the majority.

I often joke that I was born in the wrong country, I love quads, atv's, Jeeps, 4x4's, and the terrain and countryside to use them on, all the things I guess you guys have as part of everyday life? Where do you take your quad? I was going to look into the different parts of America and see if there's anywhere I could may be have a trip to and go out on quads etc...any ideas?

HI and welcome to QC!! Nice Jeep!

Hey thanks, not as facy as some of the rigs you guys have out in the States, but everything is so much more expensive here for Jeeps. I could have gone the Land Rover route (90% of off roaders in the UK seem to) but I love the Wrangers.
