There'll be nowhere to ride pretty soon

Wondering why this sale (or any of them) mean that places to ride will be diminished?

How many are gone already?

Just askin'
 
In that case, resist the possibility of even more going seems a sensible notion.

Not many good riding woods around here, but I will still support the campaign against the sell off, purely because whilst I have access, I wish to maintain that, and I just don't trust government 'plans', as we have all heard it before with politicians and elections, they never promise, (well bar one who has turned out to be a tit and back tracked on his promise), they just say no plans, or plans, which is not a promise. Times change, plans change. Politicians work for political expediency, not people.

When I ride, I ride moor and coast more than wood.
 
There is no case. Only 18% of British Woodland is state owned. None of the woodland that i regularly ride, or build trails in is state owned. Its just another cause for the fluffys and whingers to get their knickers in a twist over.

Why we need a third thread in as many weeks to discuss it I don't know.

Plus a good chunk of the state-owned land is for commercial logging and sometimes out of bounds to the general public; certainly the case with my nearest FC sites, where trails are often shut and/or altered depending on where and how much felling is being done.

Isn't all 'man made' forestry for commercial logging? At Chicksands there was uproar when a large area was cut down. New trails have evolved since but the mess left behind took a long time to sort out.
