To the south of Newton Poppleford there is a UCR off Dotton Lane that crosses the river. On the Eastern side of the river going into Ashtree Farm there is a padlocked gate across the UCR, is it worth reporting this to the authorities?
So just 2 of us went out on Saturday morning for a ride I decided to try 181-049 after walking the majority of the lane with the dog. All apart from one bit where I thought I could see the bottom of the deep bit at southern end of river. But after deciding that I would just give it a go not caring about getting we...

Just a heads up - Cotleigh Bridge on the Old Chard Road between Honiton and Stockland is likely to be closed for 2-3 weeks while Devon CC repair the concrete apron under the bridge and instal a fish ladder. Mind you if they work at the speed they did today it will take longer

Hi all I'm off over to the IOM TT next week with enduro bike. I wondered if anyone has any gpx files for the green lanes over there. It would be super useful to have this!? Cheers Nick
There is a sizeable fallen tree approx 200m from the southern end of Curscombe Lane (192-047). There is just room for a bike to be pushed underneath with a bit of wriggling. Mark
The insurance company I have used previously have now withdrawn all cover for off-road motorcycling and I can't find anyone who does still cover it. They no longer even cover downhill mountain biking so I can't even pretend I was on a MTB if I get hurt! Yes, I definitely need off-road. Lots of you guys ar...
