ILets face it, the only reason a 4x4 or bike goes there is to find the rough bits and go through them, making them worse.
There are sections of the Berwyns that are now nearly un-walkable due to the deep ruts cut into the, by off road vehicles.
There is only 1 simple easy solution IMO, and it is not to ban vehicles or a group of people.
For the sake of the environment, just make the national parks "zero emission zones".
Job done.

Does this mean that you wont be putting your name down for one of our Bunkhouse Trail riding meetings 
I love the last Line... "For the sake of the environment, just make the national parks "zero emission zones". !!!!
You cant park anywhere in the yorkshire Dales NP in the summer because all the Enviroment friendly Ramblers pack the place with their cars..Drive 20/30/40 miles to park up and walk 5 miles and then moan about any other group useing the NP...Hypocrites....
I have been working and riding Yorkshire Dales area for 30 years, and I can say that the most complaints come from Townies , {Outsiders that have moved into the NP.} they even complain about Farmers getting Muck on the roads and Cows making a Noise...the Locals tell them ...If You Dont Like it F--k Off Back to the Town you came from.
I say...Live and Let live... when Leigh and I go walking, were smart enough to walk on FOOTPATHS there easy to find as they are over 140.000 miles of them , and we never have to come in contact with 4x4 or motorcycles.
When I go trail riding I only ride on Legal Trails.. {nick name Green Lanes }... so why is it that a walker thinks he or she as the right to stand in front of us to block our way ? If you try to do that on your High street. I should think that the police would take you away .
