:D Hi Richard, i know this route and drove it in my Suzuki last year, and yes it has legal rights of way. A bit rocky in places but great veiws. Not very long though. I think it may have been downgraded recently to a cycle route i may be wrong, but i remember council up there a phew months ago erecting signs i think cant properly remember.... they were doing it somewhere in that area?. Great picture though.... :D

They've downgraded a load in North Notts recently too, I think it's dispicable, especially as some have been made horses only by virtue of the stupid gates they put up, not even safe to tackle them on a mountain bike!

:( Sadly this is happening at an alarming rate up and down the country, and like you say you wouldnt take a mountain bike down them let alone a horse, i think there trying to ban use of motorised vehicles through the back door on the quite. But sadly it is a long process if you try and challenge your local councils about this issue. Luckily g.l.a.s.s l.a.r.a and other organisations are hard at it fighting for our cause.

:evil: If you think about it, the councils are shooting them selfs in the foot. O.k they downgrade lanes for Ramblers,cyclelists etc but when these user groups start complaing about the rough surfaces etc, the councils will have to fork out a lot of money to repair or even rebuild these lanes to keep the ramblers happy. Were as at the moment they dont seem to spend a great deal of time and money repairing lanes whilst motorised vehicles still use them. Some lanes i know in the Peaks have recently been repaired for all user groups but a vast majority of lanes are never touched. What im getting at is that the councils are going to have to spend a lot more money now than they have done. A bit of an own goal i think......

Arn't GLASS the only user group who voluntarily repair rights of way, for free! They'll miss us when we're gone.
