I heard this small pick-up truck approaching along the bridleway and wondered if it was an illegal off-roader out for some mid-week sport when no-one was (hopefully) about. It looked like a farmer delivering something for the sheep further up the track on High Pike so it would be allowed. It has been several years now since the grey area in the law which the off-road community exploited to drive on these old tracks was clarified. Motorised traffic (essential use by farmers excepted) is banned from public bridleways these days. I had never actually walked this stretch of the track before but had heard that large sections had been rendered virtually impassable due to damage by trail bikes and 4WD vehicles. It looks now as if a lot of remedial work has been done to put this right and the surface of the parts I used were pleasant to walk on.
