Neighbour misusing access pathway - what to do?

I moved house recently. It's an end terrace in a block of three. My neighbour (in the middle) accesses his back garden via a pathway that runs down the side of my house/garden and along the bottom. This is all in the deeds as 'a right of way at all times (but on foot only) over and along that part of the side and rear passageway as is coloured blue hatched black on the said plan and is included in the said property'. So the pathway is my property, but my neighbour has a right of way. I knew this was the case, and when I viewed the property last summer the pathway was clear if somewhat neglected. So far so good.

On moving in last month, I have discovered that the neighbour has a large quantity of logs stacked in the passageway - complete with corrugated plastic roof to keep them dry. The rear passageway is full, with a smaller amount starting to fill up the side passageway.

I have googled as much as I can but can't find a clear answer as to whether what he's done is ok, and I want to be really sure of the rights and wrongs of the matter before I tackle him. I made enquiries about advice from a solicitor, but they estimated thousands even for initial advice. :(

I hope someone can help?
