Thanks for the vital heads up Fabian, 

Yes its been a honey pot since the early 80's and only going to get worse... I've been up there with the parish paths cap on this morning looking at projects just south 

The Damage is on the increase along with expanding the damaged area too

Devon County Council has tried very hard on several occasions in the last 2 years to have site meetings with Coombe estates and I've requested to be there as well but the meetings never took place as Coombe replied with a 'Busy' at the moment, bird shooting and other things

Vital we make contact before this public right of way is damaged also very vital the trail riders know the correct line to ride and understand the legalities smile

A lot of 4x4 damage in South Somerset and West Dorset as well. I do struggle to understand the mentallity of these people.

Motorcycles and Quads are also becoming more of a problem to. Just riding everywhere and no idea of what a legal route is.

Even had reports of motorcyles being ridden to the top of Dunkery Beacon !!

Whilst on my permitted lockdown walk today I saw a group of trail bikes plastered in mud riding along a main road nearby!!

Rant over.

Stay safe.

 Happening everywhere, Lockdown boredom sadly

 

Recent posts yesterday, from the lake District where a group of 10 enduro riders (without number plates) were illegally riding at a designated MTB park (Forestry Commission owned) and like Haldon Forest bike park

KTM riders were going up a black MTB run (wrong way) and nearly collided with MTB'ers coming downhill - all on camera, by MTB riders and a scuffle broke out

 

Not going to help our cause, at all
