Another cracking video !! The Greenway must be for all - how a mobility scooter or wheelchair user would get through the barriers is beyond me. In Kendall I saw many wheelchair users, and electric trikes on the old railway track. The punishment for Motorcyclists on these routes, and the will of the authorities to catch and stop them, is sadly lacking . It’s so lovely to see a family out enjoying the day - well done !!
Thank you for your kind comment. The barriers are a real shame, hopefully the council will see sense and remove them at some point. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this video. My husband and I rode this route on the way home to Shropshire. We left our vehicle at Hidcote Garden and cycled from there so we had the 'delight' of cycling back up a big hill at the end of our ride. We enjoyed the ride along the Greenway, but felt some signs at the end to guide us to the town centre would have been helpful. Or maybe we missed them?
We didn’t go any further than the cafe at the end of the greenway so don’t know if they have signs into the town centre. I’m a Shropshire lad so have a few videos around the area you might enjoy. Thanks for watching!
I was in Stratford a couple of weeks ago….. an wondered if there were any cycleways other than canal rides( which I love)…… it would be a thought if railways could run alongside cycleways….an have the best of both worlds…. But it’s all down to cost I guess😉
It would make a great cycle network if we could squeeze cycle ways next to railways, but unfortunately I don’t think in the political will is there. I seem to remember HS2 was meant to have a cycle way and they cancelled it. Thanks for watching!
Great video and appreciated your wise observations. Unfortunately since you filmed this they’ve re-surfaced it with loose pebbles - completely unsuitable and dangerous for family cycling. It would be interesting if you revisited soon and filmed how you and your family coped on the new surface. It’s as bizarre as having those blocks/barriers in the way.
I might have to check it out again, doesn’t good if they have not made the surface suitable for bikes. Maybe they are trying to discourage cyclists. Thanks for watching!
I learned today that the pebbles have so far only been put down on the stretch between the two railway carriage cafes. Hopefully they’ll leave the stretch from Long Marston to Milcote station as it is.
Unfortunately they don’t work, we were passed by a motorbike while at the cafe. They sadly make access for those less able or with kids extremely difficult. My local greenway has no barriers like this, they really don’t need to be there. Thanks for watching!
The barriers would make it impossible for me to get over or through in my wheelchair with powered add-on. I have done thousands of miles on the NCN and it is so frustrating and even dangerous to have to bypass sections of the network by using busy roads.
For me it’s very frustrating but I was lucky this time to have someone to help me with the trailer, so I was able to get through. It’s a massive shame, and plain wrong, that there are people who are blocked from using these paths. Thanks for watching!
i don't mind the reopening of railways as long as they are actually needed because being a green conservation supporter i would much rather disused railways be adapted to greener alternatives, they would get more use,
Yes fully agree, if there is a genuine need we should reopen, as rail is a very efficient way to move lots of people. My favourite places to ride are disused railways so would like to as many kept as public spaces, but understand if a need is there, but must be justified. Thanks for watching!
Hi n8, love your videos, but don't like the little clips you put in which spoil your videos. If I want that sort of thing there are plenty of that on American channels. Please let your videos stand on their own feet.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching!
@@cyclingn8no problem, subscribed :)
Much appreciated!
This guy and his videos are commedy gold😅
Move over Peter Kay….. thanks for watching!

The sleepers at the access points are for horses to step over a to stop motorbikes and yobos on those over powered ebikes called surrons

Thank you for the feedback, I will keep it in mind, and glad you enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching!
I don't like that new stuff they have put down last week
I’m told it’s closed this week for them to finish the resurfacing, might not be the final surface? Thanks for watching!
@@cyclingn8 yep it's finished now, I was on it yesterday, quite a slow surface and a bit slippy, but probably be better in a few months
I will have to take another trip down there to check it out. Cheers for the update!
