Mate of mine got collared the other night by some fellas from the environment agency, for riding on a cheeky trail. It was late evening, and there was no one at all about, but these guys, who were radioed up and obviously working a spotter and chaser system. The mate rode off, but was literally tracked down by a fella in a van.
Anyone else come across this ? I didn't even know they had the power to hand out on the spot fines, nor did I know that it could be done without a formal complaint from the landowner.
Bit of a worry, as in our neck of the woods there are very few bridleways thats aren't either mullered by horsey folk, or that don't go from nowhere to nowhere.
