Could it have been kids messing around?
Quote from: "r-man"Could it have been kids messing around?Unlikely. Sweet Thing is pretty tucked away and the other side of the crag from Jerry's Arete - hardly an obvious target for kids. And some serious effort must have been put in to smash that flake in - more like a hammer job than something like throwing stones. RHS and Cratcliffe are often getting chipped, so it's probably some fucked up local or regular visitor imho.
I take it the police have been informed about the damage at RHS.
but in this wierd world maybe there are troubled people out there who have something against chalk and urinals.
It took place on the road between Bakewell and Buxton (10 mins drive from RHS) possibly/probably on the same night (Sunday). They have ruled out normal vandals and are convinced that this was planned (although they have no idea why). Would a normal toilet trashing make it onto Radio 4 national news in the morning? There is possibly no link at all. But fuck it, if there is and it helps catch/stop any further destruction (of problems) then I for one will be happy.
The last time I heard of a toilet block getting destroyed in such a way it was by irate villagers who were fed up as it being used as a cottaging venue.
There are also those spraypainted dates in that little slab area. What the fuck was all that about?
