Todays' ever popular 4x4s are causing massive damage to the fields where we can drive to the pegs.

Re: 4x4 wrecking machines!!its not simply the fact they are 4 x 4 its the way they get driven, as you say Wasperton has some big ruts, some of which were caused by a range rover revving life crazy and going faster than was really required cutting huge ruts. The cost to dhardcore places like that would be massive, as with Fladbury etc. Maybe the answer is to ban all cars after prolonged wet spells with just a hardcore parking area. Bit of a pain when like me your getting old and arthritic.

Re: 4x4 wrecking machines!!as most things in life, you will find its the drivers who dont know how to "drive" thats the problem. if the ground is so soft that a near 2 ton 4x4 is sinking/ leaving huge ruts then a responsible 4x4 driver wouldn`t go across,

Re: 4x4 wrecking machines!!Seems little point in spending money filling these ruts with hard core only for it to end up in the river when they flood. Couldn't the BAA get the farmers to run them over during the closed season with something to help flatten or level bad areas if they have such equipment. Just a thought.

Couldn't the BAA get the farmers to run them over during the closed season with something to help flatten or level bad areas if they have such equipment. Just a thought. I cannot see any problem whereby decent sized rubble would end up in the river! This may be true on rivers and streams where flash floods occur, but not with the type of floods our waters experience. There is another concern apart from use by vehicles and this is human access. The BAA may say that members use these waters ''at their own risk'' , but this may not be the case unless they have taken reasonable efforts to reduce that known said risk. These fields tend to have access by other parties such as walkers, dog walkers, farm workers etc and when very deep ruts grass over there is the danger of stepping into them and a high risk of breaking a leg. It is just plain common sense and good management to remove this obvious risk, to any person lawfully using these fields.
