The damage caused by public access.

[Minotaur]

Agree with alot of whats been said: Graham, Hamdryad, etc

 

But the problem with all these things is the few people who step out of line and take their 4x4's off-the track, trail bikers who tear about with no care for others, quite a few ramblers who think that they should have the right od acess alone, and farmers who block ROW or padlock gates, put up posts etc.

 

I am a 4x4 driver and enjoy walking, have driven some lanes and ROW, and have suffered all the above - makes my blood boil at times.

 

 

Don't see the ramblers doing much to help, but several groups of 4x4 users have helped re-build paths, lanes, ROW etc, using their 4x4's to pull in the materials needed to execute the repair.

 

But as said the ramblers will win in the end!
