Jeremy - from M4 Junction 12 - head towards Newbury on A4.
After approx 1 mile at 2nd roundabout head right on A340 to Pangbourne.
Straight through Pangbourne - head towards Streatley on A329.
At crossroads in Streatley go straight across - after approx 300 yards take first left (Wantage Road - A417 for Didcot?).
After approx 350 yards take first left (Rectory Road) -signposted as No Through Road - about 3/4 mile down rectory road on your right is a car park - we'll be there
If you are late - just follow the Ridgeway and hope you'll catch up with us

NERC Bill
And so it begins ....
The NERC Bill was enacted on on 2nd May 2006. RUPPs are now restricted byways. Parts of the Ridgeway in Oxon are a RUPP. I don't know which parts.
B*gger.
TRF are advising care. It might be good to check ...

Thanks for that - I seem to have missed the NERC newsNin said:
I've just spoken with the Oxfordshire Countryside department - all the Ridgeway in Oxfordshire is RUPP, in fact basically anything in Oxfordshire marked "Right of Way" is now a restricted byway.
It looks like I've got some further investigation to do about which bits are now illegal to ride - although a TRF member I've not attended any meetings and got my (definative) maps marked
Watch this space - might need to postpone this day then, unless you are all up for a bit of number plate removal
Oh dear
If it looks like a no go, we could always do the Surrey Wombat route, they're still all legal byways.
Start at the usual place - Newlands Corner, Guildford on the Dorking road.
I'll leave it up to you Clive.

I'd be up for for a surrey off-road day out. Count me in if it's happening.

I was up there yesterday - near Goring, great views but it was a little slick after Saturdays rain. There do not seem to be as many ruts this year

Sorry people - the Ridgeway this Saturday is off
Just marked the county border on the map and most of the Ridgeway is now illegal to ride - a number of "feeders" have gone the same way - what is left all looks a bitty mess actually (but my O/S map is a little old).
I expect there will still be illegal "activity" mid-week early in the morning and late at night though
Roy - could you start a fresh thread about the Surrey wombat alternative - thanks
I'll arrange a Berkshire Byways day later in the summer, taking in what is left of the Ridgeway area once I get time to visit the definative map.

Clive,
I know you're as disappointed as the rest of us. Thx for the big effort to organise it.
It makes me sick to death that this is the case. The sooner this bunch of clapped out, over paid, over sexed, middle class hating, inheritance tax stealing, pension robbing, NHS bungling, convict freebie, bunch of ex.communists get booted out of power, the bleeding better

I know everyone is disappointed, emergency Surrey Wombat Hunt this Saturday is about to be anounced.

Jeremy, I can't abide people who hold back their true sentiments. Come out of the cupboard and say what you really mean...........!!
