Yet more self important patronising nonsense from the man who wrote the book.

This was clearly just an excuse for UU to withdraw permission. If not this, then they would have found something else in the near future. If it was the gates mentioned then it's especially petty as they are nowhere near public roads and the chances of livestock loss would be extremely remote. I've never slammed gates in the face of other runners and I'm not going to start now.

Instead of arguing with each other, maybe we should be looking at whether or not UU are acting legally in this matter and whether or not there is a diversion that could be used. This is an excellent event and I for one would rather see it go ahead in heavily modified form than abandoned completely. Countryside access is going to get ever more difficult in the next 5-10 years and we need to be willing to fight our corner.
