Mourning our sad loss
Today is a very sad day.
I have just heard on the grapevine that the Welsh Assembly have just voted approval of the NERC act.
This now means that all former RUPPS (dash and dot lines on os maps) are now Restricted Byways, and you can't drive them. There are a lot of these in Wales, especially South Wales.
We have lost some classic lanes, The Gap road and Talybont to name a couple.
You can still drive Byways and UCRs, so my favourites, Strata Florida and the Wayfarer survive.

I knew we couldn't trust that Rhodri Morgan and his 'hair bear bunch' quiff. I think he should have the rough end of a pineapple shoved up his bottom. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Yes sorry Gareth The loss of the lanes is criminal.
I think the easiest thing to do is just blame 'dodger' anyway as he is still living in Wales 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
