Do you know Boz - lives at Cubbington and rides a TTR250?

I am sure he would know all the UCRs in your area. Why not send him a PM - his id is bozz

Hi Brian, The UCR was about from point 115 to 109 (lady hill),

It had a tag on the gate post and I could see tracks in the grass where a land rover had gone across but they faded out as I was trying to follow them,

I like you tried to check it on OS ( http://maps.the-hug.net/ ) and couldnt see it

but its shown on Trailwise.( http://www.trailwise.org.uk/gmaps/gmap.htm )

I am a bit green at this (excuse the pun) so would welcome a day out with some one who has got a clue,

I dont know Boz or even ever seen another TTR, hopefully will cross paths soon.

Got some carb jets on order which should arrive this week, then once I've had a quick play you can have your AFR kit and pipe back Brian - give you some incentive for some 325 tuning

The ucr does exist runs from welsh road east to windmill lane. Devon boys have ridden this with me. The great Olly Cooke and some of the others who came down to the national TRF agm in Warwickshire a couple of years ago.

Route is not shown on is maps, but is a ucr.

Haven't been out on mine, because its clean and for sale and I don't want to tempt any problems occurring til I get the 325.

Once I get it I will pm and take you out. There is another long ucr which you will not see on OS.

You will find it difficult to follow on the ground unless you know the route, hence why you had to turn around.

Marston Doles is tro'd on the Warwickshire side due to idiots in 4x4s and quads who took great pleasure in creating two huge bomb holes in one very soft section of the route. These filled with 3 ft of water. The idiots filmed themselves squirting mud and water everywhere passing and repassing to make the holes deeper! Then they posted the footage on social media to share the damage caused!!!!!

I'm surprised to learn of a UCR with public access that is not on OS maps, is this quite common? I've always used OS maps as like the bible of where I can legally ride!

bozz · Veteran Member

Trust me. There are plenty of routes not shown on is that carry a presumption of vehicular rights.

OS maps are useful but not 100% accurate.

The one shed71 is talking about is definately a ucr it runs back to ladbroke hill lane which comes out on ladbroke straight .I beleive it follows the hedge line on the left side from welsh lane .The long grass hides some very deep holes "beware" the other end on the 90degree bend on ladbroke hill lane is usually very cut up and can be a challenge after heavy rain with large deep ruts done it solo once and wished i hadnt .Only the welsh lane end is marked with warwickshire black and white ucr .Im sure locals remove ucr markers in the area as there is conflict with bikes using the old railway at marton end .
