NEW OPENING HOURS FOR BRADGATE PARK
Riders who've suffered from the inexplicable opening/closing hours of the horse tracks on Bradgate Park can now look forward to something more logical.  As from Spring 2005 - when ground conditions dry out - the new hours will be:
EVERY DAY except Saturday and Sunday afternoons/evenings and Bank Holidays
and until mid-day on both Saturday and Sunday
The Park Trustees reserve the right to close the tracks when ground conditions are unsuitable or other circumstances necessitate closure.  Our thanks to member Ken Waterfall, Newtown Linford Parish Council and the Trustees.

"Stick to the BW" plea in Martinshaw

The Woodland Trust have asked local riders to stick to the route of the new BW (R119) through Martinshaw Wood beside Markfield Lane, Ratby. Apparently riders have been wandering along other tracks to the annoyance of walkers. LRBA has asked the Trust and the Co.Council to ensure that the BW is properly signposted at each end and waymarked where it crosses other woodland tracks. Please stick to the track. We are talking to the Trust and the neighbouring landowner about the provision of a permissive BW so that riders coming out of the Cow Lane BW (R49) can be off the highly dangerous Markfield Lane all the way to the start of the built up area inside the speed limit. It would be a pity if a few riders larking around in Martinshaw scuppered the chances for this very necessary safety measure
