I'm quite surprised by the number of people on here who are suporting a ban on trail riding!
There is perhaps an argument for closing some routes in the wetter months to protect the environment, but most of the campaign groups seem to be using the green argument to cover their own interests of wanting the place to themselves.
There are plenty of trails and footpaths for walkers to use if they don't want to mix with the odd motor vehicle.
And let's not confuse responsible trail riding with the real cause of the problem who are the irresponsible off-roaders who don't ride courteously and don't stick to the legal trails. These riders are aggravating the situation for all the considerate and legal riders.
Horse riders and mountain-bikers may feel they can side with the ramblers at the moment to try rid the trails of motorized vehicles but once we've gone they will be next in the firing line.
