    Blue Fiat half way up the roman rd after a blind corner!! Parked up as owners had gone a walk by the looks, anyone know anything different or see it?

    No, but both myself and my lads had difficulty crossing the M1 today, you know , the section that runs up past Stanage High Neb!!

    Yes, I unequivocally hold 4×4 drivers and ‘Green Lane-ers’ under the same moronic umbrella! ….ever since I observed a group of these F-wits happily ripping down a dry-stone wall to use as grip under their poorly equipped off-road heaps of junk.

    Yes, I’m qualified to make that statement on the grounds of being well educated, having raced at school boy level and having driven off road for over 12 years, all over the world, with a rather chic government department….and never once had to rip anything down.
    Garage owning, petrol headed morons.

    Is it stolen?

    jeepers. that's odd. Nice blocking of trail for other access.

    Once, a good few years back, a mate an me came across a car jammed between a fence and a wall on the Fife Coastal Route. This is a cycling and walking path.

    The driver was completely at a loss as to why they were stuck….
    we offered the response that it was not designed for cars and they insisted the map they had said it was the main coast road across fife…

    We helped push them free to the next access point the RAC could reach and identify as they had nuked the clutch into orbit.

    The mind boggles.

    If they had parked it a bit further over at least it would have stopped the motorcyclists!

    They may have been caught short and had to go for a wild dump in the ferns. I doubt they'd have jumped up and down shouting "Cooeeeeeeeeeee" 😀

    Too old to be a hire car, so can't think of an explanation why they are up there.

    Saw a bloke in an Astra a couple of years ago at the top of Pistachio Way (just at the end of the woods before the top gate) – no idea what he was doing there or how he got out. He was looking at a road atlas as I passed him. 🙂

    Should've wheel-clamped it.

    Not stolen – was driven up by a family about ten mins before i got there apparently. Properly "parked" also not just abandoned

    I don't know the roman road at all, but if there was any gradient to it, I'd have gone up the track a bit, turned around, bombed past it and showered it with a few loose rocks from my back tyre.

    That'll teach 'em 😉

    *I am, of course, not seriously suggesting it….

    My TomTom as on more than one occasion tried to take up bridleways, some drivers seem to follow them come what may

    it is a great down hill that is fast and loose, the space to the right was wide enough just to get a bike through comfortably but not really at speed.

    That road is the only route for Mountain Rescue to get the Land Rover up onto Win Hill. Nice work.

    The idiot's blocking the passing space, I had to reverse my Golf all the back up to the top. People eh… Wonder how and where he turned round, three point turn up there anyone?

    I've no idea where this is, but even if there is another way for Mountain Rescue it's no good if they didn't know some dumb ass has parked up until they get there!!
