Ok folks, there is an issue that needs our attention. We, UKGSERs use Byway 73 on our trail rides, as we will in May.
Byway 73, which is the first trail used off the A5 when riding the Chirk to Llangollen loop, is a trail of three sections. Usually riders only use the lower section straight off the A5, and then the mid-section which has the concrete steps on it up to Penygraig Cottage, but there is an upper section. There has been some obstructions on the upper section for some time though, but riders have been able to ride up to the fencing obstruction.
The proposed order is to close the upper section to vehicles and horses.
Please take a look at the Order notice below, along with the streetmap image of the route.
I may be running out to do the trail in a few days, maybe easter Sunday. But don't wait for me, go take a look and please send in your objection to the proposal to Martin Wright whose address is below.
Here is a streetmap image of the Byway under threat.
