Looking on Google i can see lots of tracks, looking at the OS map i don't see so many, and i see a lot of footpaths and black dashes.
What is the situation with riding? anything goes or farmers and shotguns?
also how does the ground hold up, does it get muddy or drain well, i know there will always be exceptions but would like an idea of what is about.
Where are good places to park a car and start a night ride from?
final question, how easy is it to get lost, riding at night, are there any landmarks, lit pylons etc.
