I can proove these lanes where roads right back to the 1800's is that enough?
I suspect they where restricted (pre-nerc as it turns out) at the request of the few people who live on them, making them in effect thair own private driveways
.
A pic of one of the lanes that runs in a nice deep cutting-
Thanks for answering my question Richard.
What is the procedure for trying to get them re-opened? or would it just be a waste of time?
Lanes are here-
http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.phpI know there's not alot mileage wise but they are good lanes and with them I could peice together a local ride without riding 20+ miles or driving in the van for an hour which is the main reason I've not been trail riding much for the past 12 months just doing enduros.
NB ( I do know some people have been useing them on bikes but I wont take the risk).
