The Valley of Intolerance:
You are not welcome here!
A recent blog post pertaining to 'off roading' in the Ceiriog Valley has sparked outrage from the responsible green laning community. The article can be read here. Many green laners know the area well as it is home to the iconic 'Wayfarer', a lane that GLASS offered physical and financial assistance to repair several years ago, but despite this offer, a public crowd fund run by GLASS raising £13,000, and initial assurances from Wrexham County Council that work would begin in 2019, the lane remains closed under a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order. The area became even more famous due to continuing incidents along a route known as 'Whitestones'. Prior to malicious, purposeful, and illegal obstruction this lane was no more well-known than any other of the thousands across the UK, but since boulders, tree stumps, spikes, and some grizzly purpose made caltrops and modified farm equipment were strewn across its surface, it soon caught the eye of the community. If the illegal obstructions were an attempt to put people off visiting the area it didn’t work, the area became infamous!
