Green Lanes in Berks and Bucks
Discussion
don't know of many in bucks. East berks doesn't have many either. But if you head over towards Newbury you'll find loads and south of Reading too.
Best thing is to check the definitive maps on the council web site and get a few os maps of the area. I've done many of them myself and they range from very easy and not having to think about it, to very risky and you're wetting yourself - but that depends on the conditions. Majority are the former though.
What are you taking?

you should be aware that the ridgeway is now closed to all vehicles, as are a lot of the lanes that cross it, with a fine of vehicle crushing if you are found driving it.
Not all of it. I looked into it a month ago as I was planning a trip. There are several sections with seasonal TROs in place. One seasonal TRO from last year has been made a permanent one, but there are still some sections which are do-able according to this: - %$@ !!!!

This is also quite useful:

Lots of lanes around the ridgeway are now restricted byways, but there are also many which maintain byway status. As always check for official TRO signs at the start and end of the lane.
Go further south and you've got the test way, and a short part of the wayfarer's walk which I think has a TRO on it at the moment, but should be lifted next spring I believe.
Then there's hundreds to explore if you get as far as Wiltshire - Marlborough / Devizes. But of a trek if you're coming from Bucks though.
