Sounds fair enough, there's riders and 4x4s out there taking the piss and ruining it for everyone:spitfire
 
Sounds like good news and a great idea ...

"The Countryside Council for Wales is currently working with Ceredigion, Powys and Carmarthenshire councils on a project to create a network of off-road routes in the Cambrian Mountains."
 
I agree with Tim and Nick

"Supt Steve Hughson of Dyfed-Powys Police said the force hoped to reduce illegal off-roading and damage to the Elan Valley and the Cambrian Mountains."

Stay legal and it's not a problem:thumb2

I'm lead to believe that something similar was tried for the Clocaenog Forest here in N wales. The local police were apparently onboard but local objections put a stop to it.

Police pulled us over on ligit' track near A5 but no prob's for us. It's cowboys who will ruin it.

Fair point Dick, but the problem is that previously legal routes are systematically being made illegal. There were good routes just 10 miles from me, but I understand that you're not allowed to take 4x4s or bikes on them anymore. :(
 
Seems a pretty good response from the Police and the Council .I've made the trip down to Wales 6 times this year already to go trail riding never had a problem on the legal tracks :thumb2

The routes are already there, legal ones as well.
Join the TRF and you'll soon be reaping the benefits and riding such routes.:thumb2

I might even renew my TRF membership this New Year.....:augie

COULD BE BAD NEWS

You may find that if you obey the NERC laws to the letter
quite a few of the tracks you now ride will be no go :thedummy

This has happened in South Wales with a high Police presence and made it a area thats not worth visiting anymore ( Pre NERC we used to use it a lot ) but not anymore

Why do you think there is a lot of trail riding in mid and north Wales AT THE MOMENT :nenau

Probably not, as most of the lanes I use (Mid and North Wales) are County Roads not ROWs.
NERC hardly altered my maps. In fact, it mainly prevented residents gaining legal access to their properties........... H.M.Govt = numpties!

This discussion will go on and on regarding legal use, but the illegal off-roading is increasing as the legal routes are being closed. Won't the penny drop with the governing bodies!:nenau
