Is there such a thing as a professional user of these parks some one above has written that the aim of the parks is to popularize the area and its a catch 22
the landed comment strikes a cord with me
my particular riding location is actually owned by a chap who a few years ago was going to basically restrict access through parliament he is reconsidering this now based on this summers shennanigins, landed gentry he owns the shoot on that land and its part of his estate and income
the general view i think isnt so much against bikers or walkers but i lived next to the keeper there, well i knew both of them for two popular routes and the estate manager
its busy in the summer but how do you differentiate between someone using it responsibly and the lets take the kids and dogs to the country side set who arent even aware issues like this exist ,i have lost count where a polite warning of you need to put your dog on a lead up here mate has led to a not so polite **** off
see the signs at the bottom mean your dog can be shot and you can be sued if its causing menace not many are but sufficient enough to get the story back to the landowner the keepers get seen as not doing the job they get paid for and sir goes to parliament to get access rights revoked and i believe it is that simple
the stories of bikers cheeky trailing through the heather yes they have been seen doing this
what i can tell you after listening in on the conversations and viewpoints you stand zero to nil chance of negotiating renewed access through any party once you get on the wrong side of that landowner, unless its in their interest not ours to reopen
