Yes you could legally, but my point was its not the correct route.
The thing is, ive driven around the bomb hole( i didnt know the correct line before) but after being pointed out the correct route on the lane its self by the GLASS rep for that area, a mr Askew, i learned the correct route, which is through the bomb hole.
But if you didnt drive the lanes at al you still wouldnt be in that situation. So should you not drive a lane knowing you're going off piste?
Surely skirting round the bomb hole by a couple of metres hardly means making a new track tho , there's already a path there?
does that mean then that the whole lane shouldn't be enjoyed by someone not confident to do the bomb hole , seems a bit sad .
I assumed -obviously wrongly , that these lanes were ancient tracks used to move folk and livestock the most direct way between points of habitation , is the bomb hole really part of that long worn track , or something carved out by off roaders that then became the definitive track when the authorities realised that the path needed way marking to avoid further damage?
Either way , I'll hopefully get to do strata one day , I'll probably go round the bomb hole , unless I'm co piloted by someone with some experience , but I still remain with my 'national trust' mentality that buying up the countryside then charging folk for the pleasure of using it , is wrong , I've enough about me to know how to treat the countryside with respect ... And I still maintain that avoiding strata just cos I wanna go round the bomb hole , is somehow wrong .
