It is quite staggering just how many routes have been lost in the Ilkley/Burley areas compared to the number of footpath/cycleways. To an infrequent rider it shows how totally out of balance the situation has become. Horse riders have as much right to follow their persuit in the countryside as the rest of the population and in the case of the female population a much safer one.
