@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

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.

This year has seen a particular colourful bloom of all sorts of shrooms on the trails

 

[The Hodge]

I am almost equally sad.
I couldn't quite name which bombhole...

Bit greener than the Alice !

Kuitpo and surrounds is awesome

Great mix of Forestry Roads, Singletrack, Hiking Trails, Country Backroads and Tracks

Easy to do a 50km loop and see just a handful of other people

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?
