s8dding walkers!
I have just enjoyed a lovley session on my MTB. From Merthyr Tydfil to brecon and back again via the "roman road". This is also a 15 mile race in september.
I digress. As I stoped 1/2 way to have a bit of fruit and a some air, i was approached by a rambler type person. You know the one, plus fours, wolly jumper and hat complete with beard(that was just the female!)
I was then shouted at for bring an MTB onto a "footpath". Fair enough if the track was a footpath I would be banged to rights.
So cunningly I asked him where he tought he was on the map. Indeed did he have OS map 160 on him. Map was produced and finger pointed to a footpath about 500m to the east of our location.
When it was pointed out to him infact he was on a TRACK that was open to 4x4s if wished he soon changed his tune. I thank the army lads for backing me up on this point.
Anyway you stuck up stupid ass, I would like to say the kit you had for a 3 mile treck from your car was overkill an oh learn to READ A MAP! you runied my day

Just expanding a bit. Ever had to wait in a gym for a treadmill and there is this bloody walker on a treadmill going at 1.5km/hr , probably 0% incline, READING a friggin book!!!! Then they slow down to 0.5km/hr to have a friggin swig from their bottle!!!
As you said TT,
s8dding walkers!
they have the same right to be there as you do lawrence
they pay the same money
if you want to lose weight you have to start somewhere
TT's situation was completely different - he was bein abused for something where he was not in the wrong
you can't abuse someone for being a walker - it keeps a lot of the population healthy and is a good hobby
The 'bloody walker' might well have been someone who'd just come through heart surgery, or a heart attack, or a stroke, or anything that threatened the life he's trying to get back by getting fit, and now he has the added challenge of having to share a gym with impatient and thoughtless gits. Yes, he could walk outside and avoid soiling your air, but I think most people would rather that their father or brother was somewhere that medical help could get to him quickly if he was to collapse.
it makes no odds cougie
they are entitled to their 10 minutes on the treadmill the same as everyone else
even if it is to prevent them getting to sweaty and ruining their look
treadmills do what you want with them.
but wearing a cagole does not make you navagtion expert and save the countyside when they don't have a clue what they are on about!
Bet they where guardian readers as well.
and as for them pesky horse riders
and people with snappy little dogs
i think we all agree that the person who spoke to you today was out of order TT and deserves to be stripped of their boots, woolly socks and walking stick
but they don't represent everyone who walks
i fully intend becoming a long distance walker when i can no longer run
The LDWA seems like a great organisation and i will be there in woolly hat etc
they have opened a lot of permissive bridleways round my way, they havent mapped or publicised them because they dont want them overused ...... that takes some explaining when challenged by the woolly hat and walking stick brigade!
<imagines arguing with meldy sat on a horse>
are they nuts????
you not seen the size of my 'orse
The silly thing is, out of all the walkers/riders/cyclists/runners ...... we all enjoy the same thing and would all fight on the same side if it were under threat
yes they are nuts, the power of the wooly jumper!
scrambles have they place but when driven by 15 year ols chav/scrotes..........another ball game.
and licensed to use them
Ding Dong!
PMSL....
This is more like it... You troll!! Can't believe how many people actually took this serious, advocating for the infringed rights of potential cardiac patients... LOL
He gets worse than this.... Last time time he almost mowed down some toddler and had the mother's guts for garters for allowing her sprog to shit in the middle of the MTB trail... PMSL... You go dear... claim your trail....
*shakes head*
Troll?
I have a witness. Not my fault peeps see the chicken on the bike and think it is open session on me.
Afan argod, mother was letting her toddler sh*t on the bike trail, even though big sign saying bike past here FAST.
Today, all I wanted was a shelter from the wind and some calories. So I get lefty rambler claiming HIS path. Marked on the map as Other road, drive or track. Thus take a car up there if you want(you won't the suspension will f*ck up)
Well he wanted the view to himself I suppose. Can't have poor peeps on the mountains lowering the tone.
