I read that lot, including all links.  They surely are a clever bunch.

you'r right the wooly sock lot are really well informed .......but if you look closely at the photo they've got on that link you will see that this damage is'nt done by vehicles ie 4x4 the tracks are to narrow and not the normal tram lines....so not that well informed.....plonkers.

Its nice to see they cant allways get what they want, :lol: http://www.ramblers.org.uk/news/2006/vixentor.html

They do make some good cases, but, for the majority of byways this isn't relevant.

As for the photo, it says its a bridleway, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean people shouldn't be driving it anyway.  So, could thisbe a result of a farmer?  Or, is it just illegal off-roaders, which aren't going to be stopped anyway.

Then there was the comment from LROI about wading.  Is there no way that the comment was about an offroad course or a ford?

They really do get on my nerves, they'll want a ban on offroad courses next, then they'll turn into outright Anti's.

they seem to struggle with basic mathematics too..

"This offer was refused by the landowner who then requested £35,000 a year – a staggering £400,000 over 10 years."

why cant people accept that theres good and bad everything, good ramblers who dont leave litter/trample crops/leave gatesopen bad ones who do

likewise, there are clowns on bikes flying yup and down like evil kenevil on a bad day, and 4x4 owners who stick to the routes, dont want to churn everything up (it risks been stuck and havin to be pulled out by a lesser model!  :twisted: )

rather than liberally applying the tar with that big old brush, why not concentrate on sorting things out, picking out the troublesome folk, and letting the happy and willing people continueto share our countryside.
