I wanted it all to myself! 🙁

Doubt it on a weekday

Yep rammed full of workshy cooncil wurkers

FCS is public sector, innit? They’ve put a barrier across the entrance and are picketing it.

Damn the need for the strikes Druidh! I may have to take an egging to cross the picket line. I have worked hard to have the rest of this week off in annual leave.

Unlikely, most of the striking workers will be sat at home watching daytime telly in support of the cause.

Last thursday i counted 6 folk – we were there all day

It was busier than I expected last Wednesday, augmented by one very fit shift worker and one author and writer needing some fresh air 🙂

Yep but tomorrow is a school “holiday”. I imagine GT will be busy.

As an aside I’m taking the day off to look after extended families kids so if anyone else is even thinking of going to pirate island tomorrow – be warned – your kids would be safer elsewhere!

Riding any FC land tomorrow is scabbing – fact

what’s the point in those guys going out if you come along and negate their effort by strike breaking?

Help! Where can I apply for emergency dispensation to ride GT tomorrow??? 😯

Lol @ jota! Nice try.

Is it scabbing in my case? I’m not striking and it could be likened to using roads or ending up ill in hospital…

As long as you’ve convinced yourself, you’ll be OK

I think you’ll find it difficult to get there due to the horrendous flooding sweeping Scotland at the moment.

Is Trafficscotland usually up to date on flood problems?

Should be they’ve just advertised it in the local news

Is Trafficscotland usually up to date on flood problems

probably are when they’re not out on strike in solidarity with the FC boys and girls

Does that mean I can’t trust the met office either?!

A simple trip to GT becomes an epic against the system!

Today is damp – and cold. Tomorrow is forecast a lot better. There is some standing water – nowt extreme.

Gt will be fine today and not busy. If ya dont want to break a picket line head up janets brae to the buzzards nest.

I’m sorry, but riding your bike in a public park is not strike breaking get a hold of yourself…

And anyway it’s a public holiday in Scotland for most public sector workers anyway for St Andrews Day.

I think you need your ‘is this a wind up’ specs on hels
cos you missed that one by a mile 🙂

lol.

As a follow up GT was utterly mint today Cracking trails, decent weather, great company and a good lunch at the cafe made for a great day out. Tommy two thumbs all round.

Topless bus with strikers went by my house this morning shouting abuse at me as I put my bike in the back of the car. Shame it rained on them all day… 😆

A bus with topless strikers might have been a bit more entertaining.

Would have been full of public moobs!
