Happens round here a lot. I can see that rights of way should be accessible, but Herts CC seem to have enough money to do major engineering work on trails I hardly ever see anyone else using. I thought one of my favourite technical bits was safe, but they are in there doing major earthworks and felling enough trees to make a big hole in established woodland. I would have thought that much money and effort could have done more good somewhere used by more people. The upside is that a lot of them are natural drainage routes and erode away again after a couple of winters. Just have to find a few more cheeky bits in the mean time. Found a lost horseshoe on my last ride, so I reckon I’m due for some good luck.
