Suggestions have been made to the committee regarding positive action and hopefully we can channel the same energy seen here.

Riders and walkers can share the trails but all parties need to be educated and aware of each other. I have found even recently, that walkers seem rather put out to keep left to let a single file of MTB'ers by.

But all my experience with the horse riders have been a positive, considerate and polite affair. We always stop and wait for the horses to pass. But we are the two groups with the most to loose?

The Draft plan of management for the mT york area including the historic trails is now open for comment

It was suppose to go public on the 25th of Feb but I just got the notice from BMC

Any way it can be downloaded for comment here

So... we met a ranger just as we were finishing The Oaks yesterday. Right after the technical section of the sniggle that leads back to the road.

We had a small chat and the ranger was saying how they know that part of the trail is getting quiet badly eroded and needs some work. Apparently there's a new staff member coming along in the next couple of weeks who will be looking after this. I told the dude about and have spoken to Terracare.

There seems to be little action here, so thought I should mention a bit of news from a while back.

Earlier this year I wrote to NSW NPWS regarding their maps of Ku-ring-gai and Garigal National Parks. I mentioned that these maps didn't show many trails that one can ride with the NPWS blessing. I explained how there were loads of fire trails in these parks that I knew were wide open roads that one could easily drive down, and ask if that's the case how come riding isn't permitted there.
