Thanks Nick
Whilst On the Green you are doing it wrong if you are in a higher gear than 2nd. Nothing better than being on a lane - 1hr First light.
Joe public support the forces, so it helps break the ice being in a military landie,and provides a good talking point
I do have another advantage I worked for the RSPCA as an inspector, so able to talk to horse riders / dog owners in areas of Their intrest this also breaks the ice

However if they get a bit Sh... then I just tweek it a bit and pick up on the horse looking hot or the loose sounding shoe.
Never mind the dog off the lead on a ROW and them not having water for the animal on a hot day.
Lanes in safe hands why not join us.
Incidently Tread Lightly not only aiming to Educate, but enforce, as I know of at least one region having a camera trap.
Safe lanes
