The nice people at Sustrans, North Yorkshire County Council and Harrogate Cycle Action have been building a cycle route from Bilton to Ripley for a goodly while now. Some people didn't want it. In fact they managed to force two public enquiries where they argued that death and pestilence would result from people cycling on a disused railway line in the open air through their land. Well the second public enquiry has reached its conclusion and its now officially go for launch.
Should be open end of March latest, I can't wait. I'm going to cycle with my family from my house to Ripley, eat some overrated Ice Cream and cycle back, it will be great. Thanks to all those people that made it happen and if you were against it I hope you get over yourself and learn to love what is in your backyard. I wish I was lucky enough to have so much land it had a railway across it, just saying.
Here is the report of the public enquiry if you want a read
