WHAT'S ON...
So how many miles of bridleways are there in Wiltshire?
Our bridleway infographic show the available statistics for Wiltshire and some adjoining counties. You can see that there are many miles of routes to maintain, use, enjoy and record for all our future riding.
We understand your frustrations. These may look like healthy figures but how many are actually usable? Take out those obstructed by locked gates, fences, severe uncontrolled vegetation growth, and any number of other deliberate blockages by landowners, removes a fair number of miles. Then there are those which run for short distances only between two roads or perhaps cross a busy road without any traffic controls. eg A303 south of Winterbourne Stoke or A346 near Ogbourne St George. Others terminate at a point where the status changes annoyingly to a Foot Path. It doesn't leave many miles for a safe off road circular ride. Can you help us to help you? We need all the support we can get to maintain & retain riding routes. Reporting issues to us and the council helps but getting involved to remedy them is by far the most use to everyone. |

WBA FUTURE PLEASURE RIDES
Your committee are seeking your help with identifying additional venues. We are also looking for volunteers who would be willing to get involved with the organisation of such pleasure rides.
In additional to other potential benefits, it is hoped that such events will:-
a. Help to advertise the Wiltshire Bridleways Association to a wider audience and thus increase support and donations.
b. Raise additional funding to enhance the work of your Association.
c. Give the stalwart committee member, whotakes on the majority of activities for running all previous rides, an opportunity to enjoy a ride too :)
Thank you in advance, your committee looks forward to hearing from you.
