Mood: Out with the grey....in with the satin black
but what Tonio???.....vehicles only had (legal) access to approx 5% of the nations trail's. If walkers & horse riders don't like 4x4's or trail bikes, they should f'ing well stick to the 95% of the trails that vehicles didn't have access to.

I like your French saying, but it's ironic that you use it to defend the position of the walkers'/ horse riding community's freedom. They are the very people that have applied pressure to restrict the freedom of trail riders, etc. - not the other way round.

Using your analogy......if a non-smoker walked into a pub that hasn't banned smoking (one that was part of 5% of all the pubs in the country not to ban smoking), it would be acceptable for the non-smoker to demand everybody to stop smoking as they have the freedom to breathe fresh air. What about the right of the smokers that aren't allowed to smoke in 95% of the country's pubs????

There was enough countryside for everybody to enjoy.
