Very bad reception today

(1/3) > >>

burgerman:
Three of us went green laning today (2 discos and a sj )  Started in shamley green nr cranleigh and kinda worked our way around the area for about four hours, Kept religiously to the lanes, most are officially marked to state what can pass down there, We played by all the rules,ie- pulling well over to let people pass,saying thank you ( i shall come back to that one) stopping engines for horses, passing people as slowly as poss(1st in low is kinda slow enough i would say) although a mud terrain tyre thay are a very non damaging pattern, So i think most would say we were trying to play by the rules ??





                          Sadly how wrong could we  have been :evil:

    all we got was a barrage of snarling, bitchy comments, evil stares, and one sided arguments (from them not us) Even tried to explain the classifacation of the lane to one chapin a calm and factual way, and even pointed out to him that 100 yards back down the track there was a proper sighn staining what can go down the lane, but was having none of it - just kept up his completely wrong statement , i must admit i had to leave at that point,    From all concerned in our group the whole day was tarnished from these type of encounters, we feel like not going back there any more ( we probally go about 3-4 times a year)  But if we did that it would be another goal for that type of people

   We have probally done many hundreds of miles of lanes in the past, and yes of course we have encounterd hostility in the past, but we politely listen to both sides of the discussion, thank each other for listening and carry on our way,     Ask any one that knows me i NEVER argue and only very occasoinallly swear,   Many thanks for reading RANT over for now

davidlandy:
I sympathise m8ty.

its getting to the stage where you think to yourself "why do I bother..."

Rich_P:
What was that chap's "argument" that you mentioned?  Such as what was his response when you pointed out the sign/notice?

burgerman:
"so thats what you say" Was his response ](*,)

BrumLee:
Next time ask for his name and address so corespondense from the Rights of Way officer for the local council can be sent to him, or ask him to attend a meeting with you and the council.

May keep the dude quiet once he realises you mean business  :wink:
