I don't like stoking the fire too much but thought this might be of interest and particularly relevant to this thread- it was emailed to me today
All GLASS or non GLASS members,
After much discussion, I will be doing a few Strata Florida laning runs in June with the sergeant in charge of road policing matters in Ceredigion.
The purpose of this laning run will be to show him the off piste damage (as much as the lane itself which is new to him!) and explain a bit more about what "laners" do and how it should be done from a GLASS perspective.
Hopefully then, once he is on our side (he will be by the time I have finished), we can move forward and potentially progress with a new local initiative scheme to aid protection and minimise further illegal damage, especially with the CMPP on the cards.
Now from what I have heard and read in the past, this could take a number of directions, but my initial one is to start simple, with the likes of signage and directional rocks/posts and blockades where needed to ensure any off piste stuff is not accidental (we know it isn't in 95% of cases). I will be asking for a base of keen local laning volunteers who are happy to assist with project works when the time comes.
I'll be openly asking any regular users I know along with commercial operators, to come on board with a new initiative to help in trying to educate others and spread the word.
Therefore I will be happy to listen if anyone has any ideas or thoughts to put to me so I can discuss them with him. Perhaps ideas that have been proven to work in other areas, such as permits etc.
He is much more likely to be able to get the council on our side than I am, as this has been a very tedius frustrating task to date and I have got nowhere fast. Wish me luck!
Attached is a prime example of some midlands boys who visited Strata last week with the sole intention of trashing it, this has been followed up, but if you hear of similar on any other forums
please let me know. It this continues Strata could easily be shut for next summer.
Regards,

On the one side it's good that the police are getting involved to help understand how laning works. With a bit of luck it might just keep our lanes open.
On the other hand it's a shame that it's come to this.
