this are public trails.
this is public transport, "postbus". they take you almost everywhere in switzerland. today to chandolin in wallis 2k then uphill to hotel weisshorn 2.3k then on to 2..5k direction zinal and through the forests back via ayer st-luc chandolin to sierre.


@etoni In Switzerland, what are the rules about riding on ‘public trails”?
Looking at your map, there are lots of trails and they all use the same type of dashed line. On a U.K. OS map, because the markings are the same style, that would mean access was identical on all those trails. You’ll no doubt know that in the U.K. there’s more than one type of public trail; some can be cycled on and some are just for walking (there’s more mesmerising complexity than that, but I’ll not go there 🙄). If you can cycle at all on a trail in the U.K., you can always take an unmodified peddled eeb on that trail, unlike in some countries (e.g. U.S.).
Thanks — learning so much from your amazing posts 😊💪🌈

Between work, her majesty my daughter & an old ankle injury flaring up, I've done naff all riding lately. Put that right today. (y)

Due to the fact that my riding buddy @The Hodge is still suffering the after effects of a broken flask I took to the hills alone. No pics coz all you see is 50 shades of grey….. was a right pea souper
Was a good ride and I’m pleased the mudhugger is fitted now, the trails were clarty. I took a couple of wrong turns in the poor visibility so thank the lord for the OS maps app and GPS. 😅😅
The pics will give a sense on the ride.

Great to hear some peeps saying Dalby’s OK. Its not perfect, but there’s lots and lots of fast fun to be had if you explore the best bits and some parts are picturesque too 🥳🥳🥳

Let’s see how sharp my trail spotting skills are today …

That was taken after the short climb (before the awkward rocks & roots and series of drops) just after the tight hairpin bend as you enter Worry Gill?
