Perhaps the rambler in question was absolutely, positively convinced he was right. When he wasn't.

I'd track him down and offer a forum membership.

😀 Lol!!!!!!!

the exact same thing happened to me on the exact same section of trail!

Nah, you wouldn't like it. Have you considered Wrexham?

Oi Fanny Baws, get your own lines! 😀 <waves at DaveAber with smug look knowing that I am going to get pished at Chewy's stag night tonight while he stares at the confines of his "cell" offshore>

True there are some grumpy old scotes out there who give ramblers a bad name but also some nobs on mtbs who do the same. Remember nearly being wiped out as a nipper on Helvellyn by a 'herd' of overweight, underskilled mtbers barrel-arsing down from the top. Maybe your geezer had a similar experience. Dont get me wrong I'm all for letting it loose but not when kids about.

Glad to hear it 😯

Let's not tar all walkers with the same brush though, I think the ones mentioned here are definately in the minority. Most people out in the countryside are considerate of each other.

Shh, that kind of sense-talking and use of grammar is not welcome here, better keep quiet before the lynching starts.

<waves back> Awright annat DeVs. Enjoy yer hangover. I'm sure it will be a good night. B'stard.
