Inside Out - Bad Press
« on: February 25, 2004, 20:12:35 »
Anyone see the Inside Out programme tonight.

I feel we are all getting bad press again . It would be interesting to know on which side of the fence the programme producer sits.

What a load of 80ll0ck5 that was :x
Good start as the reporter called 4x4's noisy, bull-barred, big tyred vehicles.
look here
http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/northwest/series4/index_green_lanes_cumbria_4x4_off_road.shtml
not many anti 4x4 people have left a comment! In fact a local to the dales welcomes 4x4's and has only ever had problems with "ramblers" wearing RA t-shirts :roll:


ho hum

On a better note my local MP is againts the law changes and had a letter off him this morning and the closing line was "Please be assured of my continued support"  :)  (Stephen O'Brien MP)

Off Road v Ramblers

Didn't think the programme was too bad considering it was the BBC who are generally incapable of reporting anything accurately or without extreme bias :roll:

The 'Rambler rep' got a lot more coverage, but he was concerned mainly with National Parks. The '4 x 4 man' made the point that vehicles have access to only 5% of lanes, Ramblers have 100% access.

What narked me was the farmer who kept blaming Land Rovers (sic) although the only Land Rovers shown were a classic Rangie (with tailgate flapping in the wind :!: ) and a Defender  being driven responsibly on an off-road course :evil: Lots of motorbikes shown though.

As someone who does a lot of walking in the countryside around East Northants, most of the unsurfaced tracks around here are cut up by horses, mountain bikers and especially farmers, but I take the attitude that they have as much right to use the countyside as I do.

Was'nt going to post on this subject as we seem to be forever going round in circles  :evil:

We'll never convince Ramblers to change there view, and yes they can ramble where ever they like and they do regardless of whether they are allowed to or not  :evil:

It's always the same 4x4's doing the damage, not horses, bikes, people and farmers is it   :evil:
