This is a good (better) way. Unfortunately the Baden Powel trail is multi-use.
It's just not a family-friendly trail with trail-runners + bikers + dog
walkers. Time to let Strava times on BP go the way of the dodo. And I've never
met and unfriendly hiker/biker although I am both.
But honest, it is unnerving to be hiking up, at the bottom of the big wood
roll on BP and see a biker coming down from the top! It's one of those "Oh,
Shit" moments. The DNV needs to step it up and allow a twinned trail to
separate the traffic in those places - and I mean separate it by more than
just a few feet.
That being said, there is no excuse for violent behaviour. Every park space
has users that quarrel or 'interfere' with each others enjoyment sometimes.
It's just the reality of shared space. Let's all take a deep breath.
