Came across this on the South west enduro website and thought I would pass it on.....
'signing day'
.... to help save important South West green lanes.
TRF members have organised a 'signing day' at Minehead rugby club to take place on Saturday April 14th from 9:30-1:30.
The purpose is to help gather evidence to get RUPPS changed to BOATS, otherwise we will lose permission to ride them!
RUPPS = Roads used as public paths. - These will be lost.
BOATS = Byways open to all traffic. - These will be saved.
The idea of the day is to help trail riders identify which lanes in the Exmoor, Minehead, Somerset, Quantock & North Devon area, they may have ridden in the last 10-15yrs - probably by displaying marked maps, area/lane names, O/S references or photos etc. and registering that they are, or have been used for motorcycling.
Motorcycling on these lanes are not a crime - but it will be soon if people do not help!
The rugby club is situated on the main Taunton - Minehead road. If you can spare a half hour on that Saturday please pop along, even if just to say hello and offer moral support. I am sure all the guys and gals will be very pleased to see you all. Your support is needed.
