We were up at the trails with the man from the Forestry Commission last night to discuss trail progress with the FC, and he mentioned that they will be putting a fence along the top of the ancient boundary banks. This is to stop some mountain bikers gouging paths across it.

The area that will be fenced is the boundary with National Trust land, as people coming down Deliverance have caused a lot of damage to the banks which are historically valuable. The FC have had a lot of complaints from local residents about bikers using the area and so the fence is going up to keep people happy.
We hope people will respect the wishes of the FC by not trying to go over the fence, there are several trails crossing the boundary since new ones spring up as soon as the old one becomes muddy and it is looking a bit of a mess even after the dry weather. With any luck we will be eventually able to negotiate a way around the fenced bit and this will be a lot more likely to succeed if people are careful in where they ride.
