Last year I was riding long distance through Shropshire and had the misfortune to break my leg from a fall in the middle of a field. I was lucky and wasn't riding alone and had mobile reception and we could get emergency help, but there are many places where where this is not possible.
I discovered that there is a system of Personal Locator Beacons which are legal for Marine and Aviation but illegal for land use For a informative explanation of what these are please go to http://www.equineramblersuk.co.uk/pe...or-beacons.php
We have a petition that can be accessed from that page which we would be really grateful if you would sign. We just want the law changed so that we have the choice to legally own a PLB should you wish to.
