Notice at the beginning of the notorious Boltslaw Incline which carries the world-famous C2C cycle route. As one of the conditions for establishing the route, the owners of Stanhope Common insisted that cyclists should not use this part of the route when grouse shooting is in progress. It is not clear how cyclists are expected to disturb the birds any more than the walkers who cannot be banned because the incline is a public footpath. Beneath this notice is another specifying the dates in the year when shooting will take place. There is a roundabout on-road route to be taken at these times.
