we did haytor down byway this eve ...

part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anCqJ7V6HOU

part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anCqJ7V6HOU

part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0NquN-g6Oc

I'd just like to point out that i would've gone over the narrow bridge as normal ....but seeing as the forestry guys had blocked the track i went through the river following the same tracks the forestry guys had made.

had the track not been blocked ...i would've gone over the bridge.

wow what mess it looks down there with all that work going on..

yea you did right carl, the forestry guys are fording the river so as not to damage the bridge, and if the bridge is blocked your legally allowed to to use the alternative crossing, they have created.

I hope the work doesnt spoil this great lane I always love doing it.

the bottom end of the lane is quite messed up (gotta be at a foot or so deeper than it was) ..
the ford will be blocked off as soon as the works guys have finished

personally i'd advise agaist doing this lane too frequently (more traffic means the works take longer ...thus causing more damage) it's a great lane in a fantastic location .....we don't want to lose this one

sorry to all 4 making u guys think im a tw@t or an idiot, but we did honestly take a wrong turning leading us to get stuck on the way out, after we noticed our mistake, it was not what we do as a rule we do not tolorate mis-use of byways nor do we litter or cause harm or endanger the wildlife or public of which use the byways as there means of travel and recreation,

so we do hope u accept my apology and trust that this has and will be a one off mistake of which i am deeply sorry

may our pathes cross on better terms in the furture

all the best
pauly
