Hmm, what to do now, Retract my statement altogether? Try and add a caveat to my earlier statement? Or decide that you are a **** and argue it out until one of us adds the other to their ignore list?

Ill give you until 1600 to denounce caravans or its all out war between us sir.

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits

Indeed. I suspect it's noise-related, I have never experienced pedestrians behaving this way, even when encountering walkers on green lanes.

Anyone who can spend more on top quality hiking gear than I could on my Motorbike gear gets my respect.

No more rants, sweeping statements or generalizations from me.

Hikers and Bikers have in fact a common enemy, we should unite against the Farmers. Those straw sucking, fat, red faced, manure spreading, over subsidized bumpkins who spread muck over the racing line and work to keep others of their "private land", with unsightly stone walls, overcomplicated gates and *****ly hedgerows, should be made to open up their fields to bikers and hikers and give us back our countryside. More grass tracking, scrambling, rambling and hiking is what I say. Sheep and Rape seed? Who needs 'em.

Oh dear, until my mid 20's I was one of the above, but as I am no longer a Farmer I'll bite my lip and keep quiet, :D,

Daryl.

Aww no, I don't believe it, I've done it again. Caravan?

Yep, I have one parked outside the house:lol:

But we've sold it, just waiting for its new owner to collect, as he has noplace to park it and so wants to wait until the weather is a bit better and he can stick it on a site up at Abersoch. And I can't wait to see it gone so I can dig up the hard stand and plant some veggies:D

All that is called for is a bit of common sense and courtesy, sadly lacking in some cases. I also get stupidity whle on our pony as well but that's another story. Perhaps you ought to stop posting if you can't post anything decent.

Daryl.

For every wazzock doing a million miles an hour with their knee down there's another equal (but far more dull) wazzock giving himself a coronary because you went past at a safe distance and a safe speed and he's just basically a c*nt.

I've had abuse from walker types, funny enough they were really polite in person, also from horsey idiots who seem to think that coasting past on the f***ing verge on the other side of the road at 800rpm in 6th gear isn't doing enough for them.

I don't give a f*ck if their walking dogfood is skittish with traffic, they should keep it under control or stay in a bloody field until they learn to ride it.

Tell you what that gives me an idea.

What is it with the more "green" the pastime the bigger c*nt it seems to attract?
What's wrong with these people? You do your best to stop your pastime interfering with theirs, and they do their best to interfere in every possible way at great personal inconvenience and danger.*

*Yes it is dangerous to jump out in front of motorbikes doing 45mph. It's also dangerous to try and lecture the riders of such machines after nearly causing accidents as such things may occasion repeated blows to the squishy bits attached to the face.

Re: Why are "Walkers" miserable gits

I go through the lanes when it's a nice sunny day sometimes, and one day there was an old guy, flat cap and all, making a gesture at me on the side of the road.

He was a farmer, standing by his field, waving a cheerful hello on a nice day! I waved back. Awwww.
