It is still disappointing that despite the recent CRoW act, we still do not have the right to roam.
The consolation is that, as a runner, it is very difficult for landowners to catch me when I trespass, although this situation is changing as I get slower with age!
With thanks to Ewan MacColl
The Manchester Runner
Another, not quite as good doggerel:Quote:
I'm a runner, I'm a runner from Manchester way,
I get all my pleasure the hard moorland way.
I may be a wage slave on Monday,
But I am a free man on Sunday.

Quote:
For, by Kinder, and by Bleaklow and through the Goyt we'll go.
We'll run over mountain, moor and fell,
And we'll fight against the FRA laws
For every runner’s rights,
And race over Kinder Scout again.
For the mass race is the only way there is,
To gain access to mountains once again!
Not sure I can manage the Anniversary Waltz, the BBQ & Paddy's Pole!Quote:

As you may know Geoff, KFR have unofficially named the bridge at the foot of William Clough.... Benny's Bridge... we all owe those young & old pioneers a great deal....Quote:
