Surface:
50% Crushed Stone | 50% Rocky |
Condition:
Steep sections have serious erosion, remainder passable but a light “tyre print” is essential
Sensitivity: Weather
In particular, the steep sections are so badly affected by wash out that farmers can no longer access their land
Sensitivity: Local Environment
None
This route is adjacent to an SSSI and passes through a common within an Environmentally Sensitive Area scheme
Damage where motorcycles have gone off road plus eroded material carried down by water is having an impact on both the SSSI and the ESA. Such damage to land breaks Cross Compliance rules and leads to penalties against the farmer and commoners
Observations:
Easy Access | Dead End | Signed at One End | Has Steep Hills
Normally passable by: 4 Wheel Drive, Quad, Trail Bike
Minimum width: 10.0 ft (3.05 m)
