Went out with Ms Spanner for an explore in the mud and rain yesterday.
We decided to go and have a look at the old footbridge at Nob End to see if it had reopened yet.
It hadn't, but we did find some really pleasant little trails, seemingly made by the local yoot: Tight, twisty singletrack, not yet ruined by the local crossers.
So we got stuck in and spent a pleasant half an hour or so exploring before riding off to Moses Gate and Starmount.
Only remembered afterwards that Nob End is an SSSI, containing some rare herbs and orchids
So, what to do? If we keep riding the trails and paths already there, surely we won't be causing any more damage?
Or should we just forget about the place and leave it to the BMX'ers (who are obviously going to keep using it) and dog walkers?
