Or did I dream it?

I’m sure I saw something over the last couple of years that they’ve improved access or designated a load of footpaths or something?

I mentioned it to my wife when we were talking about taking bikes up mountains, but I’m failing at the Google and can’t find what I’m thinking of 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

It's "in consultation: as far as I know.

What did you have in mind? Some of the North Wales mountain trails are bridleways.

I heard somewhere that the new farm payment agreements have a small print that allow land access unless it affects farming practices (trampling crops etc) .
Not sure if true Bt sounds sensible when considering the amount of payments landowners get .

Not heard a peep about this, and you can be sure it would be ALL over the farming press if it was there.

@piemonster yes thanks, ah hasn’t happened yet. Sounds promising though.

@molgrips nothing specific, we were pedalling up a hill in the Lake District on a bridle way & were talking about it, Snowdon came up and I was sure I’d read something.

Although I do want to do some riding in wales at some point, probably not this year though.
