Throughout September 2024 but primarily on the 14th and 15th horse riders, walkers and cyclists will be gathering in various locations across the country and riding and walking together to raise awareness of vulnerable road users and how we can all help keep each other safe on the roads. There is a Facebook group linked with the national campaign called "Pass Wide and Slow" where there is a map of all the rides happening across the country. https://www.facebook.com/groups/passwideandslow
This ties in neatly with what we are trying to do in the Coghurst area lanes - Butchers Lane, Rock Lane, Ivyhouse Lane and Moor Lane and the crossroads.
So I would like to invite you to join us again on Sunday 15th September 2024 to either walk, ride or drive your horses and ponies or cycle as a group to raise awareness and educate other roads users. This will be our third year taking part in this national awareness campaign after a successful 2023 event.
We will be travelling a route to be determined around these four lanes, likely the same route as the last two years and you are free to join/leave at any point along the way.
Please note: This will be a mixed group of riders, walkers (possibly dog walkers) and cyclists as we are all vulnerable on these lanes. Please bear this in mind when thinking about how you'd like to attend. For example, if your horse has a real fear of bikes or dogs, it might not be the best option. Also everyone who attends will do so at their own risk and be responsible for their own safety and the safety of any horses or dogs they bring along. I will be asking people to sign a disclaimer and particularly horses riders/owners, please ensure you are properly covered by insurance.
I am going to see if we could get police support again on the day after Sussex and Rother Police generously supported us in 2023 as an extra touch - watch this space!
Full details will be added as they are agreed and confirmed.
Please add yourself as coming if you can so you can get all the up to date information as it's confirmed.
Any questions, pop me a PM or email to [email protected] - thank you.
