I blame the cyclist/MTB. Lazy freaks are not using it often enough.

Used to be able to fly down there. Now you ride so close to the barb wire fence it's scary st speed

Can you break out a bow saw or is that a no-no?

Looks like you need branch cutters to protect the windscreen

Seen a lot worse down that way.

You want to go Oxford way. The sign post shows the direction you need to go into a hedge to make a hole.

As for cutting lanes it would take me a week to do that section. The wilts ROW have cut some back.
May put some bush wires on.
I do carry heavy duty loppers but I don't mind my paint work.

Been on a few that join in the middle. I like them.

Need more people to drive them to keep them open.

@The Mad Hat Man Thanks for the photos.
This closed section caused the road miles to Avebury stones.
When we drove past the gate it was stilll locked & the closure notice in place.
Can't wait to see if they do try to repair & re open. Going towards Oxford ridgeway parts are now permantly closed

I'll upload the photos when I get home.
You'll have to wait a bit.
Had a great time!!!

Looks like a great trip!! Wouldn't mind tagging along myself on one at some point.

Hicap phill · May 8, 2019

@Grim if ever you are going to head this way give me a PM. I Only go out weekends but plenty of lanes round here.

Mine is going off to see the doctor next week. Obviously it was too much fun out greenlaning. Ups...

Hilux81 · May 14, 2019

We'll just have to get them ready for our next outing.

Quick update.
Local lanes to Swindon will be busy Sunday due to large mountain bike event.
I’m out on mobile LR patrol collecting/repairing bikes.
Also as I’m the sweeper I get off roading without getting tired.
