Hi Martin,
May be your right.
I alway understood it had been reclassified under NERC.
However, some time in September 2007, myself and Son in Law, took a drive up Rooley Moor Road, from Rochdale end.
After about 200 meters from driving on the sets, there was a police motorcyclist, parked up, and chatting to a group of lads.
he seen us approaching, and called us to pull up.
he asked us where we were going, and how long we were going to be.
I know the area well, and explained that we were driving to the old crusher at the quarry, then would exit the Moor down Rake Head lane, Stacksteads.
OK, on your way he said.
Looks like he was just there to stop the hooligans, and realising we were not out to wreck our vehicles, (2006 & 1999) simply said OK, on your way.
Cool cop !
