They’re just potholes:D
Not real water, he didn’t even get muddy water on the paint:D
We sometimes have that much running down the road in front of the house.

Anyway looks like you had a real good time. Great to see:).

Upload 2 complaints to the ROW Wiltshire site.
Site provides an up to date ROW map so you quote the path number but later they want location. This map does not show the lane so they won’t get correct positions. You have to hover a pin drop near it.

Will update
 
Out today and ventured wilts/west Berkshire/oxford borders.
Once again we went round the Ridgeway’s before closures in October.

Some lane too tight so we missed them out. Bushes pruned back in places.
Good day about 85miles with loverly views
 
Out walking the dog & looking at some repaired sections of byways.now this was a water/mud hole & is open all year. But as it’s right by the ridgeway plenty of other users could not get passed.
This has been filled in & drainage ditch dug.they have also filled some of the chalk ruts in further along the route

Now what annoys me is the route is open all year & people think they can still stray of the nice surface & make a mud run. This impacts upon all users & most of these idiots do it on an evening/night when no one can complain.



Good to see a couple of trail bikes out using this as a link road to the petrol station meeting point.

Quick catch up with the club & get them to update if lanes need cutting back & how to request this from the council.

Last year this section was closed & hopefully will be open after repairs to ruts.
Just need to make sure the big log is moved & the gate at the other end is unlocked.

before the works on the ruts were performed we chatted about tractors causing damage & it was said none used this route. Well tyre tracks past a locked gate show they use this route between fields.
As farm implements get bigger so will the lanes.
