GLASS will be reponding to this consultation but we feel the more responses from individual vehicular users and organisations the better. If we don't all make an effort, we're likely to lose another big chunk of lanes. The consultation can be seen at: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/co...nsultation.pdf Responses must be made by April 2007.

Reckon the UK lost a lot of tress that day.

I believe you would be right there. OK, just spoke to my contact at WCC and she's happy to accept email evidence of usage, so please email me at: wiltshire.rep@glass-uk.org and I'll co-ordinate the evidence. You'll need to state the lane grid ref (SU 1043 2352 running south east to the county boundary), rough (or exact periods) when you've used it and your name and address (or just town and postcode if youy like). thanks!

WCC have been good at reclassifing Paul, they just have a lot more to reclassify than many CCs! Sadly NERC has given us many deadends, but that doesn't mean we have to turn back! Additionally, WCC don't see it as a high priority to re-sign as RBs.

Hi Jim (and others) if you could please write to WCC for me, that would be great. If not PM me with the times you used the lane, rough (or exact periods) and your name, address and I'll it pass on. Ms Barbara Burke Environmental Services Department Wiltshire County Council County Hall Bythesea Road Trowbridge Wiltshire BA14 8JD There will be more evidence required, if any of the DMMOs receive objections. WCC will be uploading their pre NERC DMMOs soon. There's a lot.

Paul Can you give me the link for the non GLASS Wayfinder please? Thanks

Past use I'm afraid. Here's the exact location, the RuPP is just to the southeast of Greenacres Farm. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newprint.srf?x=...amp;searchp=n...

Went out the other day after the winds and hand to clear almost ever lane of some sort of tree or other! It was a beautiful day as well.

Has anyone ever used the RuPP (RB) centred on: SU1023, Landranger map 184, south of Combe Bissett. It's up for reclassification (pre-NERC) and there's been an objection. If we don't make byway, the rest of the lane becomes a dead end. thanks

I once used a black dye on the canvas of my old Lightweight and once it had dried I put on a coat or two of waterproof gunk that you use on masonry. Worked a treat.

Same for Wiltshire. Went out on Saturday and used a full tank of fuel in my chainsaw. Had to clear almost every lane and only did half of the planned route. The last lane we were down to bow saws as i didn't take any spare fuel!

Fridge Freezer / Andy, this could be it. I've just realised that the pick up on the tank is off set to the side (in my case the front) - normally this wouldn't matter as the tank would be the other way around and consequently in the middle, so it could be quite possible the the fuel is not getting to the pick-up once it gets down to a certain level. I could either spin the tank around so the pick-up is at the back giving me the advatage when I need more fuel going up a steep gradient (not quite so important on the way down, well usually anyway) or I could fit a flexible feed. Which leads back to my last question - will a fuel hose be happy sat in petrol? If not, what could I use?

The things you learn on here, eh?!!! It's a straight pipe going more or less from the top to bottom with a filter on the end. It should be fairly easy to cut the pipe and fit some flexi-hose in the middle as long as i can find something that's happy sat in petrol (standard petrol pipe?).

Hmmm, an interesting idea, especially the flexi pipe which I could possibly adapt from the existing pick-up. Has anyone esle tried this before? I might try restricting the return to tanks as well as perhaps the fuel just wants to return via the easiest route! How small a pipe did you down size it to?

Does this mean I can't do anything about it?

Yes I do have a return to tank fitted. No baffles fitted, it's just a standard series tank and pick-up. What's a swirl pot tho?

No it doesn't - standard series tank and pick-up. What's a swirl pot?

Yes, that seems a possibility, although my last V8 on SUs didn't seem to have a problem. Someone else suggested fuel vapourisation so I might try heat wrap over the fuel lines in the engine bay.

Loads of pressure from the pump, at both ends of the vehicle, so no kinks or problems with the pump.

I've never taken SUs apart before - is that easy to do?

I'm pretty sure there are no kinks, but it's worth a check. It only seems to be when the vehicle is facing up on a steep slope, so if the pipes weren't big enough, I'd be getting fuel starvation at other times as well I'd have thought. I'll check the wallet as well!

The tank is a standard Series tank and pick-up, but sat sideways.

When tackling a a couple of recent steep climbs, I seem to be not getting enough fuel to the carbs (brand new SUs). The tank is in the rear of my Tomcat and so is the electric Facet fuel pump. Would I be better putting it near the carbs to pull the fuel up, rather than pushing it? Or any other thoughts? Thanks

Close. 20 January 2005 in England and 19 May 2005 in Wales. If you plan to drive any in the meantime, make sure you are well armed with vehicular evidence. The council should be able to proved this based on the claim. Like someone else said tho, the NP could TRO if within the park. Which means we need good relations and communications with the NP.
