Houndkirk Moor UPDATE (Read 26850 times)

hehe I am loving this thread, but heck there is no chance that the remaining limited access to the moor will be removed lol... more so, the original issue was with illegal use of the moor away from the road, there is nothing illegal happening on the road.

If the road is badly maintained... who is responsible for that? the people we pay our road tax to?

does anyone think that making something that is already illegal, equally illegal will actually achieve anything.. it only means that the only remaining opposition out on the moor will be mountainbikers and people with stupid hats on.

So the council should maintain the road to what condition? A hardtop accessible to all? Or would that not be fun enough. Ultimately these things come down to cost - maintaining a track solely for the fun of a few isn't too high on the HA's agenda. If the use isn't sustainable (and it isn't) you'll either get a hardtop or lose access.

haha you cant be serious lol, not ever going to happen. And with regard to allocation of funds to one particular usergroup, the forestry commission was happy to eliminate all walkers from whole forests to create bike parks with nice north shore, berms and clean tabletops. Its happened before and will happen again.

I would say the walker in the forest with a dog to shredding trails (on a bike) ratio is enough evidence.

Are you from Scunthorpe, lol?

underground · February 20, 2010, 12:14:54 am

the sCUNThorpe chap is trying to make a comparison with national park moorland and continuous cover coniferous forestry. and being a cunt.

burned · February 20, 2010, 12:50:58 am

killer vocabulary there man, ahh I see what you were trying to do... very nice!, awesome show of wit.. I bet you play a lot of sega and resemble a tree dont ya : )

Jaspersharpe · February 20, 2010, 01:03:18 am

Actually lol it was more of a lol red tips reference lol. The fact that Scunthorpe contains an appropriate swearword is purely coincidental.

I didn't expect burned to get it. I don't expect him to get anything. A basic grasp of the English language would be asking a lot but I don't really care.

Have you seen the standard of fitness of the skeleton bob birds? Amazing. BYE!

robertostallioni · February 20, 2010, 01:04:39 am

Yes I have. Tight, like prom night.

Jaspersharpe · February 20, 2010, 01:09:04 am

Good work Face.

burned · February 20, 2010, 01:12:31 am

well seeing as the word cunt was used twice I thought it was worth commenting on? (retaliating)

burned · February 20, 2010, 03:47:24 pm

everyone finished assassinating personalities ? : )

Norton Sharley · February 20, 2010, 06:28:41 pm

Sure.

I've been out of the country for a while and was just wandering what's happened to that knobhead Jim Franklin recently?

Johnny Brown · February 20, 2010, 07:34:32 pm

Up at Stanage today, very disappointed to see a party of five vehicles, four landrovers and one discovery, travelling UP the long Causeway in clear defiance of the voluntary one-way agreement.

Perhaps a Landrover user group? Hopefully one of the 4x4ers watching this can take this opportunity to remind their friends and club members of the agreement.

And for the record, they were clearly audible from the Plantation, whereas traffic on the road a similar distance away was not. Perhaps that's because cars don't generally travel in groups, and have no need to rev their engines to pass obstacles.

burned · February 21, 2010, 12:29:01 am

Nice one Johnny, thanks for the info!, I will put out the feelers, did you by any chance get any reg numbers?, was it 4 defenders and one disco?

often the cars are easy to ID because of the way they look, roofrack, lights, winch and so on. Is there any extra info you can give us to help us shame these morons.

As for Jim the "knobhead" his 1 year old kid is in hospital very sick the last time I heard... read previous posts and stop trolling please mate : )

well up early today to take the dogs out training, and while checking my email I was sent this link!.

I aint a member on there, and I dont know the guys, but if it makes even one person in here think that we are taking responsibility for our actions, then it was worth the post

Johnny Brown · February 21, 2010, 11:01:05 am

Four land-rovers, I think all short wheel base, and one discovery. It was about 5:00, sun had just set, they had their lights on. I'm afraid I wasn't close enough to get numbers or details, I will try to in the future.

As for your link, I applaud you guys getting involved and doing some work. It would be nicer though if it hadn't been necessary - its sole purpose is to keep 4x4s on the track where they should be anyway. Sorry if that sounds negative but its about keeping the track open for yourselves isn't it? If it was adding/ repairing something for the wider community I'd be more impressed.

hairich · February 21, 2010, 05:54:37 pm

burned your a cock

Johnny Brown · February 21, 2010, 06:20:50 pm

Sad to report another negative experience with 4x4s today. A party of no less than NINE vehicles, heading up the track up the Porter Clough on the outskirts of Sheffield. For whatever reason they were stuck, for some time, just below the field known locally as 'Jacob's Ladder' and were blocking the narrow track for a good thirty yards, leaving walkers, cyclists and skiers (snow here today) to struggle past through the brambles and mud of the verge. Cyclists had to dismount, skiers to take skis off. All the while the owners sat inside listening to the radio with engines idling, filling the lane with diesel fumes. Nice one guys!

Bubba · February 21, 2010, 06:36:06 pm

Keep personal insults out of the debate please.

Particulalry when grammatically incorrect.

About 15 of the front bottoms heading over towards houndkirk tor early this morning. I do hope they got stuck.
