Tom's Farm - Anyone know anything about it?

<< < (9/9)

TDi90:
he was told to get rid of the animals because they could see what harm was being done to them. he refused and so he went to court.
this is a fact, because i asked a mate who lives next door.
i have been to tom's farm, grat place, and great offroading, however the drawback from his place is that because it is so "roam free" you have all sorts of scramblers/bikes/4x4's all in the same place.. there are ltos of accidents.

Ive been there and camped a couple of times.
Very rough and ready, ok its a dump.

I remember I think he had an issue a year or so ago with been able to have motorsports and farming on the same bit of land. Not sure for certain.

Tom struck me as an old fellow, getting a bit old and immobile for farm work. My mate once found him under is quad - he couldn't have shifted that by himself. Sounds like hes reached the end of the road regards farming. give the gut a break, without knowingALL the facts, and the press is hardly unbiased (just look at the comments on this site about the LR mags and advertising). seems some are quick to judge and take the moral high ground.

Another year and he'll get his pension.

Site is big, and you can do as little as you want, or do crazy things get stuck, churn the ground up, and winch to youre hearts content. it up to you when youre there.

The site entrance couyld definatly do with a makover though, especially all the warning signs. Banning, or resticting motorcross bikes, to some areas would be good though. (My mate and I once went around the top, to find a feloow stuick in some boggy peat. The other motor bikes ignored him, whicle we gave him a hand. also they seemed to have no regard for the fact that if they cut you up, they might die, whereas you'll just feel a bump, but then neither do motorcyclists on the road.- que flaming!)

Llanigraham:
I spoke to one of my customers today, who is a neighbour to this farm. She has confirmed that they are trying to close it down, not because of the damage to the actual land but because of the dangerous driving going on to and from the site.
She understands that the owners have been told that if they wish to charge for the use of the land, then they will have to apply for Planning Change of Use from agricultural to motorsport/commercial.
She also believes that the Environment Agency are also now involved, due to pollution of the waterways in the area.
