Your bike in front of a gate pics

Somewhere between Gislingham & Walsham Le Willows was this old and rusty gate. Chained to two trees with what appeared to be almost new chains & padlocks, but absolutely nothing fence wise either side to stop you just walking round it

maybe in summer the foliage is thick enough to stop people walking round the gate, but even if thats the case its a bit silly.

Putting my work hat on, that looks like an old road way so I suspect the idea is to stop people driving past it

The gap looks wide enough to get a vehicle through. Perhaps the off road ones are playing around locally.
