This is a Members' Page for the Aberystwyth Group.  It is designed for two purposes:

  • to enable members to identify any recent news quickly;
  • and to provide an opportunity for any member to submit brief items which will be of general interest to others in the Group. 

Any items appearing here will be dated, with most recent ones at the top.  Generally, items will be removed after six months. 

Members can submit comments or any items they want included here

26 June 2010 Tanybwlch Path, 16/26 Good news! Following the public inquiry into this path last March, the Planning Inspectorate have now issued their decision. They have confirmed the Council’s Order to modify the Definitive Map to show this path as a Right of Way. It is several years now since we made a formal application for this path to be registered. We are at last close to getting the outcome we wanted. However, the landowner will have a six week period in which he can challenge the decision in the High Court but to do this he has to demonstrate that the Inspector has misinterpreted the law or that some other relevant criteria have not been met.

16 February 2010 Motorised Vehicles Members will know that there has been a threat for a number of years of a significant increase in the length of routes available for the use of motorised vehicles in the Cambrian Mountains.  Ceredigion Ramblers, together with many other organisations has objected strongly to these proposals, and for the last year or more the whole issue has been in abeyance.

Now, in line with the suggestions that were made by us, the whole proposal has been refocused.

It has been agreed that the new focus of work should be

  • to resolve the legal status on routes where there is currently uncertainty, and
  • to agree on selected routes where best practice management can be developed and demonstrated.

Motorised vehicle users have begun to work through a new organisation, Treadlightly, to educate their members and to improve the quality of those routes that are already in existence.

A Strategic Environmental Assessment of the whole project is also to be undertaken.

This new focus is a direct result of the firm response that we made to the initial document.
