CIRCULAR ROUTES
I am approaching the Highways Dept regarding the maintenance
of byways and unsurfaced highways and I need some local
circular routes that would be used by riders if the routes
with green dots on the OS map were open and maintained. It
doesn't have to be a totally off road route but does need to
provide useful access to riders locally in the form of
avoiding a busy road or making a local circular route.
I will be taking a number of these forward to a meeting in
September and am particularly interested in hearing from those
who have little off road riding in their area.

About
Karen Burch is
the BHS Access Officer for Carmarthenshire. Karen has set up the
Carmarthenshire Riders Group which is continuing the work of the
old Carmarthenshire Bridleways Action Group, but also
approaching the decision makers in both local and National
Government to open the many byways and unsurfaced highways that
are currently not available to us.
Objectives
One of CRG's
first objectives is to survey the available routes for riders to
highlight the lack of off road riding and the number of official
routes that are obstructed or unrideable. This survey is being
undertaken with the co-operation of the County Council Access
Department and the Forestry Commission. Anyone interested in
supporting the idea of a survey for additional off road routes,
please place a post in the Bridleways Forum.

Help You
To get a good
network of bridleways requires a great deal of time and work by
us, the council, landowners and YOU. If you want to ride safely
we need information about routes that you have ridden or have
heard of. If possible take a walk on the route and take some
photos. Get other riders, past or present, to write in as well.
The more support we have, the easier it is to help you.
