Why are we doing this?
We see that there are a number of benefits to our work, and
each person can have there own reasons for taking part, but
the main ones are :
To make great trails, that are fun to ride all year round
(THE MAIN REASON)
To reduce conflict with walkers by having an alternative to
riding on bridleways, and illegally on footpaths – makes
using the Surrey Hills more enjoyable for both us and the other
users (walkers, horseriders)
To reduce conflict with landowners – building new trails
and gaining permission for and properly building existing ones,
thereby reducing the increasing danger of a major clampdown
in the area.
By building sustainable trails in areas agreed with landowners,
we can ride without destroying the area through erosion and
habitat invasion.
