We are in an utterly hopeless hacking area. Single track lane on sat nav route between two towns, huge lorries of every type, fast cars, few passing places, high hedges, sharp bends. You could put up with this to a point if there was any decent riding accessible from this lane, but there is nowhere to ride.
A public bridleway runs alongside our boundary fence, it goes from this lane to a very busy B road, where it ends, again with nowhere to go.
We have 50 acres of permanent pasture. We graze our sheep and horses and mow some of it for hay.
I am considering the pros and cons opening a track around some of the fields, so that responsible local riders could get off the road and enjoy a short ride through the fields.
Has anyone any experience of doing something like this? I have my own PL insurance, this would need to be changed to cover anyone falling off and trying to sue me. Would it be worth the hassle?
Thanks
