pugwash Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I haven't been, but ithink they had a death there recently, and it woudln't surprise me if the HSe were crawling all over it. Some of the piccies from the site would suggest that his farming practice could leave something to be desired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC he went to a certain place and didnt pass go, due to his farming practice mid last year, not sure if he has served his time and running again?

welshlaner2 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I go quite often and never had a problem with him, he's not that bad and there is a lot more worst kept farms/land around. having just done a 400 round trp of wales taking in most lanes on the route there was quite a few sights far more worse. Around Dolgellau theres a lovely valley ruined by the rubbish dump on the valley floor, some of the propeties were in a far worst mess, some people don't understand that waste disposal in the countryside is a problem for some households. Made worst by the fact a round trip to the tip might take half day and mean a 40 mile round trip. As for the dogs and sheep seen a lot worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly some people just dont give a sh3t about the countryside, and are completely oblivious to the mess the live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yella 90 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 sorry but i agree with chris it makes it worse that he's already been locked up once, but he still aint learnt has he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88 Nick Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Was up there a few years back,didnt see any signs of animal cruelty then,its a fantastic site,had quite a nasty roll though. Other thing that sticks in my mind were the dosens of suicidal quad and crosser riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly some people just dont give a sh3t about the countryside, and are completely oblivious to the mess the live in. Not that easy round our way 10 mile trip (20 mile) no shops nearby, open 10-12 then 2-4 weekdays extra hour sat, closed sunday, if you have a full time job tough. In the country even less council dumps, its not just the householders plenty of "memorial" sites have spring up all over the palce often in beaufull spots, yet during the winter the stuff gets blown around. These memorials are often not sites of a tragic death, but memorials to people whom this was there "favourate" spot. Then theres carparks more and more been closed down to encourage public transport use if there is any and prevent fly tipping, whats open have had there bins removed to encorage people to take rubbish home. We came accross one campsite which had no bins, your to take your rubbish home, finaly noticed locks on some wheelie bins left on the side of roads, cause the council truck will not go down the lanes, locks to prevent people pulling waste in them With all this recycling the problem is getting worse we burn most stuff but larger stuff washing machine etc getting harder to get rid of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlaner2 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 sorry but i agree with chrisit makes it worse that he's already been locked up once, but he still aint learnt has he Anyone with news articile as to why, few local farmers round our way jailed one claims it was just one unfilled in form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Hiatt Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I'm with Welsh Laner on this one. As I understand it the animals there are no longer Toms, and I too have seem much, much worse. Quite honestly if he doesn't mind his farm a mess and his house falling down then that is up to him. I wonder how many people on smart housing estates deplore the LR owner with mud dropped on the road and the car being fixed at all hours on the drive?

welshlaner2 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Toms nothing compared to a "local" round our way ranting and raving at anyone crossing his land including walkers cyclists etc on a very well know ROW and route from north - south wales His farm is a absolute disgrace far worse and visable from a tarmac road, not much can be said about his sheep, the luckly ones left dead all over the footpaths strange enough if you meet him he's aggresive and i've seen him attempt to hit persons with a stick have Tom any day, at least he's pleasent and up for a friendly chat.

russ3120 Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 so does any one fancy it? Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troddenmasses Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 If you look at the Mid Wales Journal you will see exactly why he went to prison. He and his wife had been banned from keeping sheep or cows for five years in 2001. This time they have banned him for life. This is NOT a common punishment, so to say that: As for the dogs and sheep seen a lot worse Well, I don't know what kind of 'sheep snuff movie' you watch in your spare time , but most reasonable people would consider their treatment of livestock to be terrible. One of the main things that went against them was : The Breeses asked at the Llandrindod hearing to have taken into consideration the matter of a ram found with its horn growing into its eye, damaging the eye and considered by a vet to be suffering distress. It had to be destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ3120 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 i think we have some how missed what this thread is about, i am not disputing how the cattle have been treated and yes we all agree it is bad. All i wanted to know was what his site was like and if anyone was going there soon? I am hoping to be there on the 6th May Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshlaner2 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 :Well, I don't know what kind of 'sheep snuff movie' you watch in your spare time Not watching any movie just scenes spotted from the cab window while greenlaning these last few years Only very recently counted about 6 dead sheep and lambs left on the lane itself, most farms are well run but we come across a fair few which i consider far worse then Toms farm. Again seen a few news reports of farmers been banned know a few round here not uncommon. What does anony me is that certain indiviuals/clubs/organistions who for whatever reason do not like toms farm use this to prevent others from going, on a few forums his name has been banned, any ref to any days out there delated. In one club i am a member been told organise a trip there privately and you will be expelled. Varoius rumours are spead he is closed down etc. I have no problem with him, and think its a great site big enough for everyone to enjoy, even with a new truck and road tyres one can roam about the place and its good value for the money.
