The Benefits of being a WBA Supporter
Never more important than NOW. Be safe off the highways wherever possible and use your bridleways. Developments are being built closer to existing rights of way, and quiet lanes are being used as regular traffic thoroughfares, forcing riders to make better use of our bridleways and byways for continued hacking pleasure.
We welcome all new riders and non-riders who value the local bridleway network and other rights of way in Wiltshire. You can be assured your supporter's fee will be put to very good use, enabling our association of hard-working volunteers continued support to:
