Did you fetch it from a particularly damp bit of Tenbury Wells? ?

Was it Dodgytom who had a 306 which had done something similar?

In that thread, I was wrong.  I'm delighted he kept it on.  I'm not sure Tom is because someone then bummed him almost immediately afterwards, and then he managed to grenade the engine (from memory) in 306 vs Bow wave.

Good luck!

Reminds me of my grandfather who "repaired" an Austin Seven by stretching newspaper over a hole in the roof. Sold it as seen to a guy who then washed the car, found the hole, sued and lost!

I had a day off work yesterday, I went for a walk in Edale and up Kinder Scout etc. I usually camp there, but no camping this time sadly.

 

First of all I get to the carpark to find signs from residents begging people not to use their village as a toilet. Talking to a local, there's some small bushes and woods where they've found loads of human shite! Walking out towards the hills, every gate I get to was left open/off the latch, some broken. 

I walk through my favourite campsite that I have been desperate to get back out to:

image.thumb.png.495b904e9443c9634938fd986c0a296b.png

Gutted. The owner is terrified of catching covid and not up for the impending shitshow on the 4th July when sites can reopen, so she's not opening up this year, and probably not next year either..

Further up into the hills there were people walking through farmers fields with their dogs off lead while there's lambs about. Litter and dogshit all over the place, more gates left open. Fucking disposable BBQs left on Kinder Scout! It's 5 miles walk from anywhere, absolute wankers! I don't know whether I'm more sad or angry really.

I sincerely hope everybody who in the last fortnight had their first venture out to the actual countryside had a fucking miserable day and they go back to whatever normal inconsiderate shit they do for a day out.

I guess all the decent people decided to just stay at home, so we certainly do seem to be getting the absolute Grade A C-words screwing up the nice places. Hopefully they'll decide the countryside is too dirty and will piss off for good.

I think a lot of these idiots are people who buy package holidays to Benidorm. Given that is off the cards this year, they've to do something else. 

They're off and on furlough. The weather's nice so the lakes are an ideal spot. 

They'll be ill equipped for walking outside of a park, not used to the countryside and the etiquette round farmland and will generally leave a bad impression. 

Sadly genuine hillwalkers who are sensible folks well used to the countryside are being tarred with the same brush as these gobshites. 

Which makes me sad as Pennines are essentially on my doorstep but I'm afraid I'll be shouted at by all the Karen's curtain twitching on Facebook.

I must say that all the locals I encountered were fine with me - I was clearly set up in walking boots and stuff and not actively shitting in the woods or owt. There was a quite a bit of hysteria about a month ago but they've mostly calmed down a bit now round the north end of the peak district anyway, so don't let it stop you going out. Despite the bad stuff, it was still good for the soul to get out and stand on the top of a hill in the rain.

It's a hole, and it can be filled with metal.  You should have seen the 2CV racer when we started on it.

If you have a light  behind you, your silhouette can be cast on the curtains. That is most indecent!

If my bits cast a shadow that's not my concern. If someone wants to see my knob all they have to do is ask, I'm not shy.
