I applaude the work and can appreciate all the (largely unseen) effort but following Bob's comment above, I do sometimes wonder whether there's actually much of a call for long distance cycle trails? While people can obviously choose to ride short sections of a longer trail, surely the logistics make that less appealing than something circular?It will be interesting to see if this increases usage of the PBW. We live pretty close to it (we're a little way SW of Skipton) and it's rare to see any tyre tracks on those sections away from the main MTB centres
These are questions, not statements BTW
