For the green laners...

BBC4 Tonight at 9pm

Tales from the National Parks

Season 1 Episode 2

The Peak District - Richard Macer spends a year filming in the Peak District, where the increased use of off-road vehicles on the area's green lanes has angered many walkers, horse riders and residents of local villages, who believe drivers are ruining the area's natural beauty. He follows campaigners as they try to get the vehicles banned from their local lanes, and meets officials from the Peak District Park Authority who are trying to resolve the conflict

bah green lanners are a foolish bunch all about 17" rims
shull be watching!

Well, what a bunch of selfish, horrible, single minded old c**ts.


The programme was heavily biased with only two really small pieces from the other side of the things, the laners.

Its being discussed heavily on off road forums so don't wanna repeat everything but what are people's thoughts on here who seen the programme?

same as you mate-old selfish moustache wearing stinking of pi$h geriatric rambling fools-and that was just the women.They want the use of the land for themselves and themselves only and can't see their own ignorance. There needs to be some come and go on both sides as i wouldn't fancy having the dogs out a walk and having half a dozen bikes shooting by.
The estate management need to look at passing places and better land management so that the safety of all is the priority.

oh and what a fecking jobsworth that copper was-"i need to get my book so turn the camera off" quite ok for them to film the bikers getting stopped but not to show the copper giving him a ticket-double standards

Yep, he was on the side of the ramblers obviously, he could go running back to the meetings them and say I've caught so many bikers this month.
Major cok IMO.

My biggest problem is walkers/ ramblers have tons of byways, paths to use which go across farmers land etc and when farmers get annoyed at them, they oppose this too which is no different to the green laners.

They want everything and Bolox to everyone else.
