Nice work bird brain.. Post a YouTube clip and name of an 'illegal' trail in a 'National Park'. Give yourself a punch in the back of the head!

Illegal? This is not the trail with signposts indicating it is closed, And it is not a signposted walking trail either. Perhaps you should remove your post.

I think you'll find it is pal. Maybe you should remove your post!? The signs indicating walking and no riding have been painted over and in some cases removed.

"The park has a 'no sign-no ride' policy. Cycling is permitted on all management trails, and only on single tracks where a sign indicates that cycling is permitted. If a track does not have a cycling post and sign then it is not permissible to ride on."

Illegal trails in the RNP is a very touchy subject, especially when so many have worked so hard to get more trails legalised. It just doesn't need to be promoted on an open forum like this..

Take it down and ill is well..

This is an easy sort, if your trail is marked in red on the map linked to this web page:

http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/nationalparks/...

then it's legal.

It's worth noting this comment on the map: "Remember that all authorised trails are marked. If there’s no sign – don’t ride."

Cheers

Aaron,

Apologies for the double post, obviously we were both thinking along similar lines.

psy, it's a national park, general rule of thumb if you can't fit a 4wd down it you can't ride it. If in doubt, stay out. Simple.

It should be pointed out that there are vandals that are both pro-MTB and anti-MTB. Eg. say there is another user who doesn't like bike riders? They pull up or otherwise obscure the MTB signs and those riders who adhere to the "No sign, no ride" policy are left out.

That said, the rangers at the Royal National Park are very pro-active and think they care for the area quite well. You should join them on a dig day (posted on here now and then).
