It may well not be the Rangers’ actions.
Yoghurt pots / Parklife was closed for some pretty necessary work. The Ranger / Hurtwood also close stuff that has a negative impact on other users – but they do so obviously, explain why it’s been done and make sure any closure is signposted. They won’t drag a bundle of branches across the trail on a corner – and, in fact, they take a very dim view of Stickman’s antics.
Check in with Richard (see other thread) or follow the Ranger on Facebook here.
As said above, please, please report blocked trails to Mark Beaumont, the ranger. He can either explain why Hurtwood has blocked them, or, as is more often the case, make sure the rural Police Officer is informed.
