Not horsey, but, we live on a private single track lane that leads up to a public footpath, it is fairly steep and our front door is literally on the track, the tractor runs over our door mat when it goes up. The track is not on the OS maps as a public footpath, but it is used as such mostly by locals. We are on the side of a hill, over the summer and this week we have had mountain bikes coming off the hill and past our door at a rate of knots, a tradesman working here last Friday was really shocked at the speed the last guy went past. Two points really, 1, they really have no right to be riding on the track at all, and 2 the speed they go they are going to cause a nasty accident at some point, if we or our dogs go out the front door as they come past, or as there are two blind bends on the track they could hit a walker or a car, there are three houses on the track so cars etc use the track. So the question, who do we talk to to get them stopped or what can we legally do to slow these muppets down, we don't want to harm them, just get them to respect the fact we and our animals live here and they need to slow down.
