Falkirk Area Riders Access Group (FARAG): survey of the area

Access Survey

Providing Information for Action

In order for FARAG to be of more help to local riders and carriage drivers we need information on the present state of the path network and what more needs to be done. Individual experience is only anecdotal evidence, but collectively we can assemble statistical facts.

That is why we should be grateful for the assistance of all local people involved with horses, whether FARAG members or not, in completing this brief questionnaire. It should take only a few minutes and is submitted by email so it involves no expense.
