As much as I respect 1 groups so called "rights" over another, the paths of the peaks and dales were *not* meant for 4x4 or bike riding. I'm not even sure I find push bike riding acceptable.
Green lanes are for horses, cattle etc. Routes for farmers etc.
ILets face it, the only reason a 4x4 or bike goes there is to find the rough bits and go through them, making them worse.
There are sections of the Berwyns that are now nearly un-walkable due to the deep ruts cut into the, by off road vehicles.
There is only 1 simple easy solution IMO, and it is not to ban vehicles or a group of people.
For the sake of the environment, just make the national parks "zero emission zones".
Job done.
