Vat killing me!

That's not at all the case....

 

 

 

But it certainly is way past time for a re-think on how we're currently doing it.

 

 

 

The examples are far too wide and varied to quote so I'm not going to....

 

 

Yes, an enormous subject indeed, our landscape that we look at each day is almost all manmade and the landscape outside built up areas is the way it is due to agriculture, made that way over thousands of years, what did it look like before that? I for one don't really know but probably wouldn't make for easy walking on an evening stroll, it took a lot of time effort and nowadays money to make it like it is, and will always take money to keep it accessible I'd imagine, whether it's farmers, tree huggers or economists who are looking after it.

Don't get me wrong lads, the current system has flaws in it. Massive ones.

It's not fair or right to tag all farmers or methods with the same label though.

I'm all for a bit of wild country Mull, I'm Northumbrian, but give me hedgerows and pasture over Gamestation factories any day of the week.

Keeping it accessible is very different in Scotland than in England where, quite often, even PRoW are intentionally blocked or at best begrudgingly conceded!

[Mull]

PRoW?

Sorry☹️️

[Mull]

Public..something of way?

PRoW are fine if the hikers keep to them. They often think it's a good idea to walk straight across a crop.

That a fact like it or not
