Problems on trails near Pilgrims Way

Riders who use the Pilgrims Way in and out of Dorking have recently noticed some pretty nasty trap building on the piece of singletrack that runs parallel to the Pilgrims Way (see map). The logs were placed to cause maximum disruption to riders and could have caused a serious injury.

Redlands Trails has spoken to the person doing this and they have agreed to stop. It turns out that one group of riders were disrespectful and sped past the person in question, leaving little room and showering them with stones they claim.

This is a busy area of land and used by local dog walkers, hikers, mountain bikers and horse riders. Please show everyone respect in the area, as there is often a perception of threat or danger from mountain bikers.

The National Trust, which owns the land has been contacted as is keeping an eye on activities in the area and supports Redlands Trails and mountain bikers self policing the hills. Notices will be added to the area by Redlands Trails.
