Re: disregarding...
Hi Pip, hope you are keeping well and beasting the challenges, as they present themselves fella.
I've had some experience of the big Ca recently and can only offer my thoughts, especially during the current crisis.
On topic, I live a literal stone's throw, from one of our "7 stanes" trail centre routes, North of the Border. On Monday, we had more people show up, in cars, family in tow, bikes, parking on farmland, dogs off leads, etc, than a "normal" pre lockdown Sunday. This, despite the police erecting :shock: road closed signs at every relevant access.
I have reported all occurrences to the Police, local CC and to date, no-one has been fined or even "educated" that I've witnessed and I've been here, staying the f_*k home.
I have a lot to say on the matter, but am chiefly interested in trying to defend the couple, in their late eighties, still farming next door to me, the 90 year old and the local shopkeepers who live past them Elizabeth, of the latter is also battling Ca. We are on a dead end road, the mountain bike trail head is in the town, so there is no reason for traffic related, to come here, even if the trails and car parks weren't officially closed and the non essential travel ban were in place, etc. Lads have posted their exploits on Strava, who've travelled across county to get here, just to ride the trails which are officially "closed".
Starting to despair.
