Considerations / Issues
The military byelaws were written in 1981 ; a period when greenlaning was in its infancy . Now a popular and more accessible recreational activity , the impact on both the military and PROW network is increasing .
Although the MOD has made considerable investment into the road network on the Plain , just like PROW , some will be harder wearing than others .
Military roads are installed first and foremost to provide an essential network allowing the military to traverse the Plain . We therefore urge greenlaners to approach the use of the Plain in a respectful and sustainable manner , following the good practice guidelines set out in this leaflet , to minimise their impacts . This will ensure SPTA can function as an important military training area whilst remaining an enjoyable location to experience greenlaning .
