Fences, fires, and a thank you
Firstly a thanks – TAG are pleased to see that a section of singletrack that was closed off over 2 weeks ago has remained closed with signs and fencing intact, great to see that Mountain Bikers are respecting the wishes of TAG and the land owners. Thanks! It will be open again soon.
On a more serious note; just a reminder that if you see a fire on the MoD land then please phone the fire brigade on 999. Despite the recent rain, fire is a serious risk at this time of year.
