I see bike park wales has had to get the police to start doing checks as folk are going there when the place is closed and taking down barriers to ride trails.

Can't say I'm surprised though

The taking down the barriers is particularly annoying as they were up to allow a new trail to bed in

They've also had motorbikes up there too, unsure on whether just the fireroads or in the trails though.

Motorbikes tended to always stick to their own bit, so never really had the BPW folk too concerned, although with no bikes they may start straying into the ones with decent features.

Have to say, i'm more worried about how a place like BPW will survive over the next few months, it's entire model is based on putting loads of riders in a bus and ferrying them all day, it'll be months until they're up and running again properly.

They are a fairly big employer and pull a lot of visitors and cash into an area which has had a tough time economically in the past. I'd like to think the local council and/or Welsh government would step in to help if they were in serious difficulty. I hope so, love the place and would hate to see it go under.
