Re: Where the bridleway ends...
I agree with JackT and Faustus on all this…. I see RIP may choose NOT to ride up the footpath to Scafell if it’s busy (it’s ALWAYS busy these day, not least because BBC North West Tonight have a clip singing the praises of the Lake District every couple of days, and generally promoting tourism and J...
