For anyone considering a jaunt.
What's up wiv yu's it's only a 3week closure. Most councils would have taken the opportunity to shut em permanently
Furneaux was empty, but we found some good lanes. Drove today without the door tops, I've never been attacked by so much vegetation and bugs. Nobody stuck either.
You should have been where we were then. Did you get my text?
You know, it really gets on ****ing tits that the lanes are closed to two ton vehicles, distributing their weight evenly across four large rubber contact patches, but they remain opn to two ton horses slamming all their weight into the ground on four tiny hooves.
It's admirable that they wish to try and keep the lanes in reasonable condition, but if that is the case then why continue to let horses use the lanes?
Unfortunately horses don't wheelspin when they get stuck so they don't really cut up the ground as much as a 4x4 in certain conditions, they don't make deep ruts and they don't run on petrol or diesel, also, you don't get horses going off piste and causing damage where they shouldn't, or at least you-tube isn't full of horse riders going crazy on bridleways and byways. Equestrian activities are preferred to recreational 4x4 use (although horses are actually more dangerous) and so we will lose every time and the fact horses don't wheelspin gives people the excuse to shut lanes to us. That's just my opinion though.
