I'm still plugging away with maintaining two official public rights of way in our 32 sq Kms Golden Green Triangle bounded by M5, A456, A491 that includes the Clent Hills Country Park.
Recently, on a snowy weekend in January, I saw a traffic jam of 4x4s at 1,000 feet on the summit ridge of Walton Hill. Nine of them, at least, all out on essential travel (of course) at 9 pm one Sunday night! One driver, quite understandably, told me that he thought it was a green lane. They had all driven up from the main car park on Walton Hill Road. It certainly looks most inviting on foot or in the cosy, warm comfort of your big, 'aren't I impressive', 4x4, with no gate or notice to tell drivers that the smooth, nicely surfaced track was not for them. It is part of the N Worcestershire Path and is a bridleway. Not for your motors, please - just your walking boots or, finite fossil fuel-free bikes - and not e-bikes, either!
