When off-roading the signs I see most often are not "Please drive with
care" or "Please stick to sensible speeds", the sign I see most often
is "Please keep your dogs on a leash" or similar, which is of course
blithely ignored. I think that's mostly locals though.

I'll bet the figures are available, and I reckon there's hundreds of
times more of them than us, huffing and panting all over the place the
dirty environmentally unclean so-and-so's, it should be banned! ;0)
However there's so many of them that no politician can resist their
demands so we're stuck with them it seems. Perhaps we should all move
to one county and become a significant number of people... I vote for
Dorset because I'm already here!
