The story goes back about five years I think to a land deal whereby Belway Homes bought a piece of land for a development of stunning 4-5 bedroom townhouses in a glorious waterside location - what other type is there?
This development led to the existing public right of way being block off as a temporary measure while the houses were built. Nowt wrong with that really but you can't just block off public rights of way without providing a suitable replacement - it's the law, like.
As is often the case, the law was disregarded for far too long and matters were taken over by the people using the path: the fences were pulled apart to allow access. They were repaired, then pulled apart again.
Recently other fences have been put up and a new anti-tank barrier went in last week.
But now, finally the horrible block & mesh fence with scaffolding pole assembly has gone.
But, beware what you ask for: my first attempt to ride across to the path resulted in a comedy face plant as my front wheel disappeared into an unseen abyss!
Fortunately it was a slow speed incident and was funny more than anything: especially for the two schoolies witnessing my fall from grace. It could have only been made more comedic if one of them was practising his swanney whistle as I tumbled to the ground.
Ride safe
