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.
