Your view is a little over the top in my opinion. How am I going to get my caravan off a sloping, wet field without my 4x4 in low ratio? This is the only reason I have one. Furthermore, some people need a 4x4 to access their home when it snows up here in the north. I concur with the view regarding 4x4 illegal usage of bridleways/tracks and footpaths but would defend the right of their owners to use them legally on by-ways open to all traffic. Thanks for the info regarding access, I'm looking forwards to visiting the white horse, & Wayland's Smithy etc in a fortnight. And I'll be lugging my camera gear by shanks' pony!
