Clarity

I have been reading about how many landowners try their best to make bridlepaths and public rights of way either inaccessible or to disguise the route. I didn't really expect to encounter it so soon though!



I was cycling down this road which is marked on my Explorer map as a bridleway (the bridleway is also signposted before this piece of road, and again afterwards!), when I came across this:



Someone else has obviously taken exception to this sign too - see the hand-written note on the bottom left-hand side? I continued on my way in spite of this until the bridleway went offroad and became a bit too much for my solid forks and unfit muscles to handle! The road and roadside along that part are obviously considered part of someone's private estate - the verges were tended like a garden. Very nice.
