Likes of Strava are the problem.
They don't give a 💩 if they are making billions from the data collected.
I've found loads of Strava trails not in my patch.
I'm dreading the day a segment appears on some of my cheeky trails. 🙁
Staying away at the moment for trail preservation and not piss off 📴 the landowner.
Keep Stumm.

Ever heard of Glasgow?
Yep it's a small town in the West of Scotland isn't it?
To keep banging on about population densities, Greater Manchester (so excluding Liverpool, Cheshire, South Lancs etc) alone is over half of Scotland (Greater Glasgow for comparison is about 1/5th of Scotland).
Scotland isn't home to some sort of inherently more responsible breed of Mountainbikers, it's just that some cheeky tail developments at Golfie (which the Scottish Access Code doesn't allow for, access =/= digging) are akin to the proverbial tree falling in a forest compared to say Winhill.
my rides werent entirely on bridleways didn’t seem like the wisest thing to do
Why ? You're not going to get arrested for it ? No-one is going to come knocking on your door saying "oi, why were you on my land".

Free MemberEver heard of Glasgow? That’s by the Pentlands too. The population density thing is claptrap – most people here are concentrated in a small patch in the middle. To get to the empty stuff travel is required.
Exactly this. I understand why people get it wrong, it's unintuitive but it's frustrating when people keep getting it wrong. By definition the empty land is where the people aren't, while the riding pressures are where the people are.
