Rubbish Stu. The AWDC do far more to protect preserve and repair green lanes (byways and RUPPS) than the Ramblers and local councils combined. I know because I've been out on the work parties. AWDC members know perfectly well that others have prior right of passage - I've often pulled over and turned off (when I had a 4*4) to let horses or walkers past. It's hardly ever the owners of expensive flash 4*4s who use them off road. Most damage is done by farmers. The vast preponderance of recreational 4*4 users know that they must tread lightly. Your ignorance is compounded by your reference to an alleged 1,000 year old METALLED green lane. I don't believe it. Modern metalling did not exist 1,000 years ago. Historic rights of way are being lost to the exclusive use of lords and farmers. The AWDC preserves heritage. You seem to wish only to sanitise and Disneyfy it.
