Foot and Mouth Disease
Dirty Gertie:
Hmm, they've just said on the news that this strain is only found in vaccines, not in live animals; the affected farm is not far from the Institute of Animal Health lab at Pirbright where the vaccine is manufactured :?

Other than the exclusion zones there is only a ban on movement of live stock.
The lanes at this moment are still open...
However if it spreads things will close down very quickly!
just keep watching the news.

I'd also suggest that we think very carefully about which lanes we use, not wanting to contribute to the potential spread of the disease and not wanting to gibe the anti 4x4 brigade any more amunition.

Well said.
Lets be seen to be pro active.

We came across some guys from a Landrover club on Salisbury Plain yesterday and they were telling us that the MOD were closing the Plains to the Public because of the foot-and-mouth outbreak.

I am currently in the Isle of Man at the moment and already Police tape has gone up on most footpaths and byways, the Manx Agricultural Show has been cancelled as may the Manx Grand Prix to prevent any possibility of it coming onto the island, as last time this will affect most things rural including tourism but it's only a drop in the ocean as to what may be if foot and mouth spreads, it needs to be taken seriousley and if this means our hobby's are put on hold for a while then fair enough, I was planning a green lane holiday in IOM in the next few months but it might not happen now.
First the floods now this :shock:
