‘Spotters’ to report Beacons off-roaders

May 13 2008 (http://www.walesonline.co.uk/countryside-farming-news/countryside-news/2008/05/13/) by Sally Williams (http://www.walesonline.co.uk/authors/sally-williams/), Western Mail
“SPOTTERS” are on patrol in the Brecon Beacons this summer to report illegal off-roaders to helicopter police teams overhead.
Dramatic scenes unfolded over the May bank holiday weekend, when police helicopters were called in to help catch illegal off-roaders in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
After liaising closely with the local community National Park Authority wardens teamed up with Dyfed Powys Police to organise a joint operation to apprehend 4x4s and bikes off-roading through protected countryside in the National Park.
During the seven-hour operation, so-called “spotters” positioned at key observation points, tipped off the National Park wardens and police about the whereabouts of the suspected offenders.
The police cautioned the drivers of five motorcycles and six 4x4s and called in air support when one of the 4x4s attempted to evade the police by driving around the open moorland.
Sam Ridge, assistant area warden for Brecon Beacons National Park Authority said the driver finally gave himself up when he realised that two police helicopters had his every move covered.
He said: “The wardens receive more complaints about illegal off-roading than anything else. The vehicles and bikes cause considerable damage to the landscape destroying the areas they pass through, upsetting and endangering the legal users of bridleways and footpaths.
“It is surprising how noisy these machines are and they cause considerable distress to residents and visitors trying to enjoy the tranquility of the park.”
Liz Daniels from Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages added: “Most of our visitors show their personal commitment to maintaining the rights of way in the park by making a contribution to a charity that repairs the local foot paths. Imagine how they feel when they see what damage the illegal off-roaders have done. Recently visitors have commented on how rutted the footpaths are becoming – you can often see the tyre marks.”
PC Owen Dillon, who co-ordinated the operation for Dyfed Powys Police said: “This joint operation has resulted in six 4x4 vehicles, five motorbikes and one car being reported under Section 34 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 for illegal off-roading.
“The driver who failed to stop initially will be reported under section 34 of the Road Traffic Act,”
