If you can't beat 'em, join 'em or leave. Roll on my emigration to Australia, please God let it happen, zillions of Km of land to ride on and not many ramblers (except the Abos).
I used to be a TRF member and go out to play with the Swindon Group. I only ever used to ride the legal (signposted) lanes untill Tony and his cronies changed the law and fooked me off
I was out two weekends ago and found that West Berkshire have replaced all their RUPP signs Restricted Byway ones. No problem thinks I, who the hell (apart from us and a few Rambliars) actually knows what an RB is ??? Wrong Last weekend I've found that the same council authority has spent many £££'s on erecting A4 sized plastic explanation boards identifying who can and who can't use RB's
Just been out all day looking for Byways to do in South Glos, not one could I find!! Oh well did a couple of lanes anyway, then headed south and had a look at all the lovely big houses in Millionaires row (Cadbury Camp Lane) North Somerset, trouble was that between the nice houses is about a mile and a bit of rock strewn muddy track which I had to negotiate God what a hoot!! They've even put up signs saying 'Private Road' so I had it all to myself.
