National Cycle Network Rangers
The Rangers of the National Cycle Network are all volunteers. There are 2300 of them at this time looking after the cycle tracks around The UK. Each has duties such as checking the signing along the trails, organizing get together for clearing up glass and litter and keeping vegetation cut back. In addition they are keeping an eye on Sustrans-owned ground, including disused railway lines and other sites which may be part of the open or future National Cycle Network routes. The Rangers also do office work, organize cycle events, and report problems which occur along the routes.
But all is not work; there are Ranger rides and weekends which add to the interest and knowledge of the Rangers. This is altogether a worthwhile cause if you are at all interested in cycling.

of a person returning to cycling we almost always quote an approximate mileage.

a get you there process. These rides have fast become a cheap entertainment's
day out for the participents. They are also an excellent introduction to
