IMBA RULES OF THE TRAIL

[geotrails]

Why is there one rule for English speakers and one for Afrikaans people.

 

IMBA rules of the trail are at http://www.imba.com/international/rules_intern.html 

 

The English version reads:

 

"Ride on Open Trails only" ie only if you have permission to do so. 

 

The Afrikaans translation reads:

 

"Ry slegs op duidelik aangewyse roetepaaie"

 

Which means - ride only on marked routes!  Thats a huge difference! 

 

Does this mean that Afrikaans okes are more prone to getting lost and English guys worry about whether they have permission to ride a particular route?

If a Route is marked it is usually open and legal
