[Closed] Riding up a descent at Glentress

I can't find the link, but read an article about 6 months ago from Andy McKenna about mountain bikers not respecting the land...struck a chord as it did ring true.

Anyway, this thread and posts have reminded me of it and just highlights even on a designated bike trail, mountain bikers can't stick to the designated route and argue that it is OK...

Almost had a bit of an off yesterday at Glentress.

I was well within control hence the reason I stopped.

So which one was it?

TJ - on what may seem a technicality - the qualifier in the access legislation is “responsible” not “reasonable”...  you might want to work out the difference before pursuing your hypothetical court case.

I sometimes attach a tube to the bottom of the down tube (weight distribution is better, obvs). Do I get to be miss the point too?

"99% sure that there is a ‘No Entry’ sign at the bottom of ‘Carl’s Lane’, where it joins the access track to Spooky Wood."

I think there is but I'm pretty sure there isn't one at the unofficial cut-through where people ride off Carl's Lane to go up the old entrance to the Boundary.
