    How long do you think it will last?

    How much further will you have to walk?
    Public road and access to public land was gated here a few years ago. The council didint want to pay for upkeep of the road and the owner said well if I have to pay to matain the road I am not letting the public wear it out.
    Which I can sort of understand.
    There was a small uproar but the locked gate is still there meaning a sole destroying 5 km gravel road trudge before reaching the start of the walking track.

    Im sure if the contractors wanted the gravel bad enough, that little gate wouldn't take long to push over with their big digger....

    They will soon get pissed off with 10 vehicles parked in front of the gate anytime they need to get in ay.

    I walk from the quarry anyway. If it keeps quads out, good job. I don't really see any harm in it being blocked.

    I wonder if they will form a lay-by for parking before the gate?

    You still get in from the other end on a bike any way.
