There is no way I'm argueing against the rights of 'trail riders' to use the legal trails, BUT as with the sportsbikes on the road there are a lot of enduro riders who take the view that trails/green lanes are their own private race track. Unfortunately, as others have said, the UK is densely populated and there are limited places where you can 'let rip'.
The problem is internal, yes I'm well aware there are a lot of illegal users on mini motos and the like, but at the same time there are a lot of inconsiderate stunt jockeys who really should save it for races.
I don't know what the answer is but for me trail riding is all about the exploration and challenge of new trails - not about ploughing a furrow up the same track as I did last weekend.
