Worth Way and Forest are wonderful recreational assets, but sometimes the behaviour of people on these routes leave a lot to be desired. I run, cycle and walk on both these routes and here is my plea for cooperation.
Cyclists. Yes, it's a national cycle route but other people have a right to be there. Get a bell and ring it in time to let walkers get out of your way. They are usually happy to do so.
Dog owners. If you let your dog wander under the wheels of a bike, both your dog and the rider are going to get hurt. It's a shared route so keep your dog under control and safe.
Walkers. Don't stand in a huge group, chatting and ignoring approaching runners and cyclists. It's not considerate.
iPod users. If you are walking along in a world of your own, don't get upset when someone passes by and startles you.
People of East Grinstead, these are great assets. Be nice to each other and let's enjoy them together!
