There must be some clever weighted hinge beneath the ramp. Maybe it would be too difficult to make such a gate wide enough for tricycle access.

I reckon a photo or streetview of this clever gate at West Winch common would be interesting.

One is barely visible at http://www.instantstreetview.com/@52.70 ... .73p,3.56z - that access is only a footpath. The bridleway access is not on Streetview but I'm pretty sure it's a gate.

Or use other means to control the cattle. Gates are only one of a wide range of less injurious options... but no, never mind other people's injuries as long as r2 inconvenienced!

Youre becoming unnecessarily rude.


I think you attitude in going to the enth degree of a f*rt to prove yourself right, creates the situation where others are rude to you.

I think this is an open forum and you say more about yourself than you do about others :)

Just realised, I didnt ask what other means there are of controlling livestock,other than gates and CG,that make life easy for road users?
