Lobby Your MP - Don't Let Greenlaning Become Illegal

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

It seems particularly cruel that they would want to take that from us too, especially when the antis already have an additional 109,000 miles of routes they have access to which we don't!

Click on those one at a time. Perspective.

I know the dereg bill hasn't closed the byways, but I think it's just a matter of time until they're trying again. I think I might start to photograph/film some of the byways that have been restricted so that when they *do* start to threaten us again, we have some ammo to come back at them with.

Or maybe even put some pressure on MP's to actually lift the restrictions and re-open them, if we can find evidence that there's no good reason for them to be closed.

What do you guys think about the idea of SCUK becoming a GLASS affiliate? I'd be willing to chip in!

Never looked at the three maps like that. Local to me there is one byway and when you drive that the farmer gets threatening.

You can knock loads of byways off of the byway map, loads on there around me that I know have been shut.

Which makes it worse.
Cheers

I can confirm that when I went laning the other day with Donkeychomp, loads of stuff on that map in Surrey had been closed. At least half of everything that map says is a byway isn't a byway.

So yes, it's very much worse than that map makes it seem.
