My wife arrived home yesterday after spending the past week in London on work. One of the first things I told her was that I had decided to go out with the Club to run some trails. Those of you who are married can guess her reaction; she said “Great, I’ll get some peace and quiet”. I have a very atypical wife.
There is an ever increasing amount of pressure being put on government authorities to close down our hobby of Four Wheel Driving by various environmental groups around the world. The more vocal and militant amongst these groups see our recreation as the enemy of the environment and give no consideration whatsoever to sustainable recreation and multiuse. If you disagree with them then you are wrong. Unfortunately we are generally less vocal and less well financed than these groups and therefore all the good work we do goes largely ignored.
