I would like to see more TRF chaps on the RoW List and hopefully some BDS 
CTC and even BHS as they have so much to gain.  It would be a shame if it 
was predominently 4wd. (which it isnt)<<

Can I send the details to the TRF then please? Also, consider posting 
details to some of the usenet groups in the .uk section. Possibly the 
best place would be to have the details put on the TRF web site?

As far as the established opponenets of laning or concerned, you're right. 
However I was thinking more of the general public perception - those 
who don't know the ins and outs of the laning situation, and whose 
views on almost everything are the ones given to them by the press - 
remember when people thought that suzuki's fell over everytime they
went round a corner...mind you, come to think of it..... ;-)
Its an established fact that anything that gets wide public interest but 
in reality affects only a small minority of the electorate is fair game for
any publicity seeking politician to stick his 2p worth into - most often 
with an unwelcome result fot the minority group involved. Its happen(ing/ed)
with bull bars, and it could oh so easily happen with laning. That was 
my concern.

I see your point here, however - in Scotland at least - the first and second 
issues are closely linked. Because the statutory aspects of laning don't 
really exist north of the border, it would be incredibly easy to destroy 
laning up here. Have one case which removed a right of way, then use 
that as a stated case for all others, and in a matter of months 
they're gone....

> The question then becomes : well WTF are we going to do about it?

And its a good question - I'm certainly not against some form of direct 
action - providing the same condition as you specified existed. However,
I personally am always going to be a loser. As a commercial 4x4 centre 
operator, both leisure laners and landowners tend to misinterpret my 
interest as being based on fiscal grounds. (Its not - I don't use lanes 
commercially, and wouldn't ever unless there was some method of 
contributing to their upkeep which didn't find its way into the central 
government coffers)

Probably, but you'll understand that if some louts in a 4x4 or on a bike 
rip a surface up and scare other users of a lane, it does affect our 
position....if only with regard to the "undecided/uninformed" public
who read about it in their local paper or on TV.

It certainly wasn't my intention to suggest that "unaffiliated users" 
- if that term covers anyone whose not in a club or organisation of 
any type, but who operates on their own or with friends - are any less 
lane friendly than club members. Indeed I belong to only one club 
(Scottish Off Road Club). They don't lane - but then few in Scotland 
do. One of the clubs who does "Green Road Runs" uses private roads 
and takes 50+ vehicles on trips over them. They are very keen to find 
and use the public routes to do their runs on. IF they did so in the same
manner as they use the private roads and I quote "we couldn't 
gaurantee that we'd be able to keep the numbers down, it depends 
on how many turned up, if five came then fine, if fifty come then they'll
still want to drive the lane". Then there would be problems.
So...it is never my intention to support the "if you want to lane you'll 
have to join our club" lobby. Whilst there is some fantastic work done 
by the various clubs and groups concerned with laning, it's as wrong 
to limit use of the lane to their members and supporters as it is to 
prevent vehicular use without legitimate and legal reasons.

Of course we wouldn't, you're quite correct here. The point with laning 
tho' is that the activity wouldn't recover after a year or two. The lanes 
would have been downgraded by then, and lost forever. That's my 
concern...that any damage done for short term benefits will have a 
long term or permanent affect.

Dare one ask what or who the Victoria Laneing Society, RoW

Do you have to roll your trouser leg up to be a member?

And what type of RoW society is it were you have to walk to get there, isnt

Subject: RT Roads and "non" UCR's

Hi all,

My name is Peter Bradley and I'm brand new to
this list.  I've just been thrust into the job
of ROW "Officer" for the White Rose 4x4 Club, a
small but keen band based in the heart of rural
North Yorkshire.  The reason for this is simple:
I know more than most other members. Unfortunately,
I do not know nearly enough, so you can expect many
cries of "help" from me.

Ours is a big county, and as we are a small club 
we have decided to concentrate on The Yorkshire
Dales National Park area, where we do most of our
laning anyway.

1st question:  Anybody else on this list involved
with YDNP or NYCC ?  (So I can compare notes).

2nd question:  Can someone remind me what the
full meaning of an RT road is ?

3rd question:  My latest run-in with NYCC involves
their refusal to let us repair a seriously damaged UCR.
Highways Maintenance sent me a letter stating "....
initial findings have not confirmed any vehicular
status". And yet the last time I took a look at their
own maps the road was a UCR.  Is this just the right
hand not talking to the left ?

Thanks

Peter Bradley

<<1st question:  Anybody else on this list involved

Yes, I have been involved with NYCC & YDNP since about 1983. If you want to
make progress or sense of RoW work, I suggest you consider moving.

<<2nd question:  Can someone remind me what the
full meaning of an RT road is ?>>
Ratione tenurae = a road repairable 'by reason of tenure'. A landowner who
was granted land in the Inclosure process could also have been lumbered with
maintaining one or more of the roads in the same area. This is only one
mechanism, but there are several lanes up and down the country which are not
repairable by the CC, eg the middle bit of Mastiles Lane. RT is used as a
shorthand for all such routes.

<<3rd question:  My latest run-in with NYCC involves
their refusal to let us repair a seriously damaged UCR.

No it is another trick answer to a straight question. If there is a dodge,
you find it in North Yorkshire. First it was taking the brad and butter from
the mouths of their brother road workers, then we couldn't possibly have
enough insurance to do the work. They won't have Voluntary Restraint because
the signs are not in the DoT manual...

If a road is out of repair it is surely out of repair for all traffic?
Ask them whether they want you to go through the 'section 56' processes. This
bit of the Highways Act 1980 can be used to force an authority to repair a
road.
I would be interested to know which UCR this was, and if possible a copy of
the 'interesting and helpful' response by a council falling over itself to
assert and protect our rights to use and enjoy the roads. Come back to me if
you need more details.

That's not an option, I'm afraid.  I'm born and bred in Nidderdale,
as are my parents, and theirs.  I would never consider living outside
the county (unless you give me a flight to the Maldives).  I will fight to
the death for the lanes which I consider to be my heritage.  As will others
around here.

Thanks.  Pretty much as I remembered it.  They pay less rates too, do
they not ?  In return for repairing the road, which they do not.

Dear Sirs

NATIONAL GREEN LANE DAY

As you may be aware, Sunday 23rd March is National Green Lane Day, 
and on this day four wheel drive enthusiasts countrywide will be 
actively engaged in voluntary repair and clearing work on byways 
and unsurfaced roads.  This work benefits all users including 
walkers, horse riders, mountain bikers, trail riders, and four wheel
drive owners.

White Rose 4x4 Club seek your assistance by allowing us to make 
voluntary repairs to the track leading from Arkleside in Coverdale 
to Scar House reservoir in Upper Nidderdale, at a point just to the 
south of the parish boundary, and close to map reference 045781.  At
this point a short section of the track has sunk into what is now a 
steep sided and waterlogged hole, and this has rendered the road 
impassable, especially in view of the boggy nature of the surrounding
terrain.  We propose to repair this hole with stone and rubble infill,
and to return the road surface to a useable condition.

An early reply to this letter would be appreciated as we need time 
to organise the working party.  Any assistance you can give us with 
regard to materials would be especially welcome.

Yours faithfully

Peter D Bradley

Dear Mr Bradley

NATIONAL GREEN LANE DAY - 23 MARCH

Thank you for your letter dated 26 February offering to repair part
of green lane ref SN503G at map reference SE 045781.  This section 
of green lane is just outside the boundary of the Yorkshire Dales 
National Park which researches and administers green lanes within 
the Park on behalf of the Environment Services Committee.

The route leads from Arkleside in Coverdale to Ramsgill in Nidderdale.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park has not yet completed research on
the status of the way but initial findings have not confirmed any 
vehicular status.

The County Council maintains the general stance that in the absence
of conclusive evidence to the contrary, unmade green lanes do not 
have public vehicular rights over them.  In the circumstances I 
regret that your offer of assistance with repair cannot be accepted.

I have spoken to Mrs Parker of the Yorkshire Dales National Park  
Authority at Grassington who may well be able to take up your offer
of assistance to maintain green lanes elsewhere in the Park where
vehicular rights have been established and the routes reclassified
as Byways open to all traffic.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Burns

NATIONAL GREEN LANE DAY

Thank you for your letter dated 6th March.  It is disappointing to 
learn that you are unable to accept our offer of voluntary repair.
Only last weekend I was talking to some walkers on green lane SN503G,
whilst surveying the damaged section in question.  They were amazed
and delighted to find that individuals were prepared to put their own
time and effort into maintaining old roads.

National Green Lane Day is co-ordinated nationwide by the All Wheel 
Drive Club, with whom I am in close contact.  It is my intention to
report back to the A.W.D.C. with your reply to our request, and you 
should be aware that this may attract adverse publicity to N.Y.C.C.,
as it has done in the past, in both the national press and four wheel
drive specific magazines.

Your second and third paragraphs are of particular concern to me.  
I read with horror and disbelief your comment "initial findings have
not confirmed any vehicular status."  On my last visit to County Hall,
admittedly a couple of years ago, this lane was clearly marked on the
definitive map as a UCR.  The old road is visible disappearing into 
Scar House reservoir at Lodge, and reappearing at the other side.  
There is a right of access over the dam dated 1933. The road is known
to have been used by packhorse trains, indeed Lodge was an inn at one
time, and it is only reasonable to assume that it would have supported
wheeled vehicles.

I have driven this lane personally for many years, the full length and
in both directions, as has Mr. P. Smart of Rainton and Mr. N. Heward 
of Harrogate.  At no time have I been challenged with regard to my 
vehicular right of way, either on the track or crossing Scar House 
dam.

Yours faithfully

Green Lanes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

I have spoken today at some length with a Mrs. Parker of the 
Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority at Grassington.  Basically,
all reclassification of lanes within the N.P. is being handled by 
Mrs. Parker, therefore she is a fairly key figure.  Correspondence 
should be addressed to :-

Mrs. Parker
Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority
Colvend
Hebden Road
Grassington
Skipton
BD23 5LB

Her telephone number is:-  01756 752748

I am informed that although "the file is open" on many green lanes,
only three have so far been reclassified, all three as byways.  
These three lanes are:-

Gilbert Lane / High Lane from Causeway Moss to Stalling Busk 
(commonly known as "Stake Pass").

Cam High Road from Howgate Head to the junction of the 
Bainbridge-Countersett road.

Busk Lane from Carperley Green to the junction with the Stake Pass.

I am told that they are to be "repaired", especially Cam High Road,
possibly in June or July, and that assistance with repairs will be
accepted.  The chap responsible for repairs is called Ray Lonsdale
and he operates from the Grassington office.

Reclassification is going to be painfully slow, but one thing that
Mrs Parker said which is in our favour is that ALL EVIDENCE would
be considered, without bias, including evidence of use.  My suggestion
that users should write to her directly, as evidence, was well received.

Until a lane is reclassified the current status remains, so the message
to users of green lanes in the Dales N.P. is clear:

Drive the lanes which you know currently have vehicular right of way,
take some pictures, then write to Mrs.P at the above address telling
her that you have been doing this for years.  Be nice to her, we 
need her as an ally.  White Rose 4x4 Club will write offering our 
services, on any weekend to help with repairs, with assistance in 
seeking historical and user evidence, and with a firm promise of 
voluntary restraint where necessary.

If Mrs.P is to be believed, and with luck, we'll keep most of the 
lanes as byways.

The situation outside of the N.P. is less clear.

Dear Mrs Parker

GREEN LANES IN THE YORKSHIRE DALES NATIONAL PARK

It was both pleasant and informative speaking to you last
Friday, with regard to the modification of status of green 
lanes within the Park.

I would like to confirm that the club which I represent is
more than happy to assist and co-operate with the National 
Park Authority wherever possible, especially with help in
repairing damaged lanes.  We have some highly capable vehicles 
in our stable and if necessary these can be fitted with our own
low ground pressure "Treadlite" tyres which leave almost no 
impression even on the softest land.  I am sure that we could
have volunteers and suitable vehicles available on any weekend, 
with a little advance notice.

We also offer our services with regard to gathering historical 
data and user evidence. White Rose 4x4 Club members frequently 
use the Dales lanes, both inside and outside the Park, and many 
have a good knowledge of the history of these lanes.

I must stress that we are all responsible off-road drivers, keen
to preserve the lanes as they are, along with the surrounding 
countryside.  We use green lanes as a leisurely way for the whole 
family to enjoy the Dales scenery, not as some mud-plugging
challenge for which we would happily pay to hire private land.  
We will willingly adhere to any reasonable request for voluntary
restraint.

You may also recall my mentioning one particular route which has 
been driven and enjoyed for many years by myself, Mr. P. Smart 
of Rainton, and many other folk of our acquaintance.  This route, 
part of which is inside the Park and part outside, runs from
Middlesmoor as In Moor Lane, across Scar House Dam as a right of 
access, and over to Arkleside in Coverdale as part of Carle Fell 
Road.  Last week I informed N.Y.C.C. Highways Maintenance Dept 
that a short section of this lane, at approximately SE 045781, 
had become so badly damaged as to render the route impassable.  
I offered the services of White Rose 4x4 Club in order to effect 
a repair but was refused on the grounds that "initial findings 
have not confirmed any vehicular status".  This concerns me 
greatly, and is in direct conflict with my own research regarding
this lane and others in the area.  Indeed, on my last visit to 
County Hall, the section from Scar House to Arkleside was clearly
marked on the map as a UCR.

I would be extremely grateful if you would keep me informed as to
any developments regarding the reclassification of this route.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Wadkins

MIDDLESMOOR, NIDDERDALE - ARKLESIDE, COVERDALE
VIA SCAR HOUSE RESERVOIR

About four years ago I visited your office to check the 
legality of driving the above route by Land Rover.  
I remember spending an interesting half hour looking at 
the relevant Definitive Map, and digesting the helpful and 
informative comments you made with regard to access across 
the dam, and the track known as "Dale Edge".  Based on the 
information gathered I marked up my 1:25000 scale maps as follows:

In Moor Lane - Middlesmoor to Scar House - R.T. status road.
Scar House Dam - Right of Access from green lane only - circa 1933.
Carle Fell Road - Scar House to Arkleside - U.C.R.

Since then I have driven this route many times indeed, and at no 
time have I been challenged with regard to my vehicular right of way.
I recently sent a letter to Highways Maintenance, Environmental
Services, bringing to their attention a damaged section of this 
route at SE 045781.  I was rather surprised, to say the least, when
 I read their reply which included the comment "The Yorkshire Dales
National Park has not yet completed research on the status of the 
way but initial findings have not confirmed any vehicular status".

I wonder if you would be kind enough to advise me as to whether the
information I have listed above is still accurate ?  If not, I would
very much appreciate your correcting it.

Many thanks.

Yours sincerely
