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.
