As I understand it the site is used for training fire service dogs. As dogs get more information by far from the scent of smell they would be totally confused if dozens of dogs were on the site. It's perfectly understandable.
Finding such a good site so close to the centre of the country is excellent. We are not bothered by distance, but 300 miles to Moreton-in-Marsh is much better than 420 to Beaulieu. The only difficulty is avoiding motorways & dual carriageways, but that's good fun. Takes us to interesting places we would not otherwise see.
Well said. It's a shame that no satNav I know allows just B roads to be put in as an option, only "avoiding motorways". But if you use a smartphone and Google or Apple maps, you can enter "cycle route" - the snag being that some of these include canal towpaths and other interesting diversions. Still, the son of a friend did drive back from the south coast to Derbsyhire using such a route for a lot of the way.
