During the pandemic I became quite involved with the National Trust Rangers and some of the local riders in trying to establish and develop a small section of the pine woods for riding.
Unfortunately one of the challenges those of us who live locally face is those who visit and have a different relationship with the trails and the woods. That’s ranged from leaving litter, to ignoring the signage and most recently building outside of the designated trail area.
That’s put the Rangers in a difficult spot and the whole scheme at risk. In addition to the illegal jumps and other constructions they’re facing a growing problem with Suron riders who are a law unto themselves. It’s a tricky situation.
