So, caught a little piece of Countryfile on BBC1 last night which had a feature on Cheddar and the Gorge. They were talking to a climber who was moaning that the traffic on the nearby road which goes down through the Gorge was spoiling his enjoyment of climbing the rockface and was also spoiling the Gorge for walkers. He wanted the road shut.
Bristol where I live is not far away from Cheddar and on occasions I like to drive down there and enjoy the scenery but I want to do so from the comfort and safety of my car. Who was this guy to say that he can enjoy his hobby and the walkers can enjoy theirs but I am not allowed to enjoy mine by going for a nice drive in my car (when I am allowed without these lockdown restrictions).
Especially so if I am in my Zed. There is nothing I like better than to hear the sound of my engine bouncing off the rockfaces on the gorge and scaring the climbers and walkers s**tless. These climbers have all this safety equipment so why cant they invest a very small amount of extra money and get some earplugs if they want peace & quiet. As with walkers, go walk in a field if you don't want to get run over not on a road!!! Why can't I enjoy my hobby?
Rant over!
