Tom's Farm, near Rhayader.
Llanigraham:
From what I have heard locally the County Council have been concerned with various things, from the lack of safety to the incorrect Planning permisions. Concern has been raised by the Ambulance Service, because the number of times they have had to deploy the Air Ambulance, to complaints by other neighbouring land owners of trespass and damage.
As has happened before, apparently the owner has been warned and chosen to ignore the legislators.

or the dead sheep littered around the place and the fact bikes and 4x4's come together, accidents happen, always people airlifted from there...
people steal from him and and and....
clover:
word has is that a gang of lads robbed him and his wife of their takings including their life savings as well. Had it away with about £100,000. So the story goes!
Llanigraham:
Not heard that one. There has been nothing in the local press or local "talk".

Yep, that's much the same as I've heard!
The sad part is that from the photos I've seen the site could be excellent if better run and with the proper permissions. I'm a big believer in pay and play sites as they offer the extreme crowd somewhere to mess around, hopefully meaning that they won't do it on rights of way. However, with the publicity this case will generate locally the chances of anyone else getting a legitimate well-run site off the ground must be far slimmer.
I remember someone attempting to get one started a while ago, the greenies of course mobilised their national network in an attempt to block it, most of whom have no connection with the area and therefore no right to comment on something that will never have any impact on them.
