Nice one Dan. You did well to get one of your photos from Sunday onto the Beeb website so quickly. :wink:
You are obviously well connected. Nice retro B&W shot too. Outside the scout hut was it or on the bridge?

First V90 runner!

I'm really looking forward to the trespass run on Thursday!

With my fellrunner hat on, I'm extremely grateful to the trespassers but, as a mountain biker, the attitude of some groups, such as the Ramblers, to increased access rights for mountain bikers strikes me as a bit hypocritical.

If you want hipocritical, I know a certain runner who doesn't agree with the 'Trespass' at all, but reaps the rewards of the access. To quote 'would you like someone walking through your back garden" !!!!! Oh yes and the certain runner also espouses that if someone isn't making good use of their land then it is acceptable to take it off them! (mmmm suppose that means if they have a different ........ ....)

These people keep forgetting the footpath was there before the House, back garden, before they, their Parents, Grand Parents, Great Grand Parents..... were even born.

Hmmmmm.... that isn't a certain person who seems to have vanished from the forum?

If anyone wants one of these lovely t-shirts Dave still has a few left. They're excellent value at £7 (and very well designed, Mr. Tool!) Just drop Dave an email. You'll find his details in the calendar or on the Hayfield website.

I'm a rambler, I'm a rambler 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.

Actually, I always preferred The Shoals of Herring.

Ding ding... round one!

Yep and take a dump on your way through :w00t:

I would assume planning permission for a house ON a public right of way would have to involve an official diversion.

Mmmmmm Dr Tool a Royalist!!!!!, first I've heard!!!!!

CL thinks he's the only person with his type of thoughts on the matter, debatable, although now it is out in the open, I think it is a bit rich to run up Mount Famine, South Head and Winnats without some due respect being paid to the people who made it accessible.

CL likes a good Skol and on this issue he will get one. Round 2

It isn't to create bad feeling towards you, which is why I didn't divulge who it was.

I wanted some reasoned opinion on the matter after feeling totally incredulous as to how someone who spends so much time reaping the rewards of the Mass Trespass can still hold such opinions. Like I said you take things too literally.

I was wondering if I imagined our run up Redbrook Naze and climbing over that fence!!!!!!!!!

Good to see you're back CL. I was worried about you ;)

The kitchen isn't too bad... at least it can be mopped up.

Wasn't it through enclosure that the 'common land' was taken by the robber barons in the early 1930s?

Isn't the 4 x 4 issue more about the damage caused than the access rights in itself? If you can drive a crappy old Land Rover with an illegal number plate along Cherpit Lane without destroying it, then get on with it....

I see that Jeremy Clarkson has lost his dispute with walkers about a footpath that goes close to his house.

I've always sung the Red Flag to myself and chanted 'Down with the landowners and ruling classes!' and 'Up the workers' when-ever i've done the Kinder Downfall race.;)
