Moors Man Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hi Everyone Not sure if this is the right area but go for it anyway. Does anyone know if you are able to drive along a bridleway to get access to the fields you have permission to shoot. Normally this a big NO NO for recreation but as it is also used for access to the fields by agricultural machine would this right of access also cover me. Not keen on the idea of carrying everything about 2 miles. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggone Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 wouldn't have thought it was recreation, pest control isn't it? Personally, anywhere a farm vehicle goes, we go, when lamping. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HW682 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I was looking into this myself the other day. I think the answer is generally as stated above. Normally it is an automatic offence to drive a vehicle along a bridleway - unless you have authority to do so (which you should have if you are shooting with permission). However, I think you still be guilty of causing a nuisance if you affect others using the bridle way. I can't remember the exact offence - I will post a link if i come across it again. So in summary - yes you can use it, but basically give priority to any other walkers or riders wanting to use it. HW682 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 its fine if its on the farm you have permission on as the farmer owns the land the bridlepath is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
