I am sure everyone on here respects lanes as they should be aswell as the official rights of way, and as we are all going to be in small groups I am sure everyone will be sticking together giving other lane users the respect they deserve. I have only once had a problem with a walker, who incidentally was off the official right of way, the rest of the time people are happy. At the end of the day the lanes are there to be used and enjoyed appropriately... And thats what I will be doing this weekend, having some fun, as will everyone else. And if it rains, which it will this is north Wales were talking about, it's inevitable cars will get dirty, that's good ol' Wales for you. It doesn't mean were trashing the lanes.

Also if a lane is damaged in a part where I deemed further damage would be created by driving over it, I would happily make a judgement call to turn around to avoid further damaging a lane. Common sense will always prevail
