Perhaps some didn't spot it because it looks a bit like fluffy clouds.

I never spoke to the landowner: it was me imagining what might happen if I walked past the sign, which of course I never did, being a coward.

I am teaching him that farmers go, as stuart says, "Geddorf moi laaaaand!"

The people of England are funnelled into designated footpaths from which they must not stray lest they get ticked off by someone on a quad bike with a degree in condescension. Scotland is different, and I don't know exactly what the rules are but I've walked around there with no problem. I don't care who owns the land or why, I just think everyone should have access. Other countries manage it. Yes I’m afraid you are wrong Michael, in England at any rate.

Years ago I'd planned a trip to Scotland to hike the West Highland Way, and remember reading something along those lines, ie: all of the land of the Way is private, but that crossing it is protected by law. I guess I'm wrong? I thought that the UK had very liberal private property laws, and that hiking across private lands was allowed.
