Then 192-010 which we approached from the West end and when we got to the top and just saw a field we may have turned back if we hadn't seen the TRF/DCC Sign on the propped open gate.

photo TRF Run 18-08-2015 038_zpsn534hkom.jpg

So we carried on keeping close to the hedge and got to the bottom of the field were we found the gate to be locked but managed to lift it off its hinges to get through.

Well done Russell, cracking report! The TRF/DCC sign was a joy to see, pity about the padlock, but it is a brilliant example of the DGTRF in action. Many thanks to Wacky (I think) for getting it done.

Russell, you know you regretted not taking your Speedos wink

Great report Russ, loads of info and yes most of it we know about but can't do it all without help no sad times hmm

192-265 cracking lane with quite a bit of work done on this one in the past just so you could access the road smile

192-003 has been viewed loads of times Russ, we do look and try to find ways to repair the roads but its down to cost and access plus the usual support from group 

192-054 PROW have invited us to contest the padlocked gate and have it removed (Northern end) but there is a problem with deep water on the road route plus when you reached the river from the southern end, the entrance/exit is straight down over, it use to be more gentle but someone made it vertical, plus at last years AGM slide show report i walked this road with my daughter and its too deep for safe passage, again where water is on route or is the route of the road lies the biggest problem for sure hmm

192-298 whats it like for overgrowth now mate? cleared this one years back with Doug + JT 

Informative ride report but not much chance of getting things cleared on the whitey's' as we can't seem to manage to keep open the legal roads 

We are the largest group in the UK!

smile

Poor show why join an organisation if your not willing to helpnodisbelief

192-265 cracking lane with quite a bit of work done on this one in the past just so you could access the road smile

We all got through unaided but did get a sweat onbiggrinbiggrin

6 cube of Concrete pumped into the corner would helpwink

Yes I walked in the river up to the main river was deep in a couple of places especially with riding boots onsmile but very beautifulsmile

192-298 whats it like for overgrowth now mate? cleared this one years back with Doug + JT  Was pretty clear buy soon to be a footpathcry

Informative ride report but not much chance of getting things cleared on the whitey's' as we can't seem to manage to keep open the legal roads 

I DISAGREE THINK WE ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING FAR MORE CLAIM AND WHITE LANES THAN LEGAL ONES IF WE DONT CLEAR THEM OR UNBLOCK THEMhmm JUST MY PERSONAL VIEWwink

We are the largest group in the UK!

smile

Naaa carry on here as there's nothing incriminating in post, it would be good to let the public see what we as legal trail riders have to put up with on our legal journey

Plus it let them know how the water erodes public highways, plus Nige was trying his hardest to fill in said hole biggrin  Love it!
