Following several reports of nuisance off-road vehicles, particularly dirt bikes and quad bikes, using byways across the North Downs including the Pilgrims' Way, mobile patrols have been undertaken to engage with anyone found misusing the byway and deter further activities.

Please continue to report any instances of suspected misuse of byways, as enforcement action will be undertaken where appropriate. If a vehicle registration is present on the vehicle, please ensure this is provided. Should there be no vehicle registration, a description of the vehicle is beneficial.
