Working For Riding
Rights
THE
Dyfnant and Vyrnwy Riders Association (DVRA) are asking for help to
secure 'Rides to Freedom' in Dyfnant and Vyrnwy Forests.
The
Forestry Commission who control these forests, which lie in the
triangle between Bala, Welshpool and Machynlleth, are prepared to
open up a huge horse playground providing they are 'convinced there
is sufficient interest'.
The
DVRA say: 'We would have one of the most beautiful and best riding
areas in Britain'. If successful, there could be up to 100 miles of
well marked, interlinked and well maintained riding and horse
driving routes. The DVRA state: ' This can only happen providing we
prove to the Commission that there is sufficient interest.
