not tryed them yet but they do look brilliant
Pindale is a UUCR and goes through a natural "valley". Either side of the route, which legally is about 30 feet wide, the slopes on either side have been used by trials bikes for many (30+ yrs). In more recent times it has been abused by trail bikes and 4x4's. I think the historic stuff comes from lead/floor spar/ blue john mining, folllowed by rare plants growing on the disturbed land.fallenmikethebike wrote:Yes, I have to agree, for a change they have gone out of their way to state the lane is legal.
There is still the undertone that the "tossers on crossers", are in some way associated with what's a perfectly legal pastime.
I think it's rich for the Rambliars to be dissing other ROW user groups, when their whole movement was born out of completely ILLEGAL activities,, namely a mass trespass, on Kinder-scout, back in the Thirties, when Trail riding as an activity was already well established.
