There seems to be a recent upsurge in the illegal use of high powered motorised vehicles in Wharncliffe Woods, especially quad bikes. This is causing increasing danger to both horse-riders and walkers.
Access seems to be via either close to (the long closed) Deepcar station or via Wraggs bridge onto Moor Hall Tip and then into the woods. Various barriers have been destroyed. In addition a number of gates on Wharncliffe Heath have been damaged and stock has escaped.

This event had 12 teams last year and this year only 4 teams have currently signed up. 4SLC desperately need your help to get involved and are asking if you can get a team together and support the centre.
There should be 6-8 people per team at the cost of £120.00 entry fee (£20 each for a team of 6, £15 each for a team of 8) which split between all of the team is not a lot of money to raise to help support this event.
