Cyclist survey shows massive support for Trailblazer vision

by Dean Grindle

The Trailblazers conducted a major survey of visitors to Hamsterley Forest on the the 7th and 8th February in order to gauge the level of support for trail development in the Forest. Both cyclists' and non-cyclist's views were canvassed.

An impressive 182 people were interviewed over the weekend giving us a solid information base. Encouragingly, there was near unanimous support for our cycle trail development plans. Thanks to all the Trailblazer members and members of the public that participated in the survey. Additional thanks to Robin Lofthouse of Forest Enterprise. Full details are provided in the survey report.
