Living in the area of Cannock Chase I have thought about this recently. Especially due to forest works in the last few weeks having removed some superb trails. (Those locals will know which ones I’m on about!) But as has been the case since I started riding “off piste” nearly 10 years ago, we lose 3 or 4 so the trail pixies build 5 or 6 more in the next set of woods.
The F.C must know where they all are, they aren’t idiots, they tend to leave the storm damaged trees down on the odd trail. and I imagine some of them use Strava to keep a check on what’s what.
Will it stop me and the other 100’s of people doing what we are doing? Not yet….
