Are there illegal bridleways?
Sorry stupid question, (some) peak park rangers think so, like stanage edge as told me in as many words

Hope they are okay

Is Whinstone Lee Tor where you get to if you ride up from Cutthroat Bridge? I love it up there, and the ride down into Derwent Valley.

Do I gather that park rangers have been stropping about bikers on the bridleway that curves down from Stanage? I've never had a problem there.

Why not care about someone injured first?

Its a civil offence and not prosecutable is it so you could politely tell a Ranger to jog on (if you were a rabid STW'er).

yes. on bridleways. you could argue that the chopper pilot was breaking the law though as its not a BOAT up there.

but that would be nobbish

its incident 103 on that list

by the sounds of it they came off between the top bw and the stone slabs leading down to the res.

what the rights of way and a one off action of a park ranger have got to do with anything I have no idea.

from what those blokes were telling me it sounded like he'd hit the fence by the trees.
