Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'm sure he is a true legend in his own mind A True Rambler, a brain and attitude from the 'shallow end' of the gene pool, and wears water wings too Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Able to see path thats not visibly there, but cant see the danger of roaming a golf course. 'shallow end' of the gene pool' you might be spot on there Nige, and/or some chemic's involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I am no friend of ramblers but on this occasion, good for him! OK, he was petty and perhaps foolish to interfere with the golf clubs equipment but if there is genuinly a legal right of way there and someone (the golf club/golfers) was trying to intimidate him to prevent him from using it he was in the right to walk it regardless. Those of us who greenlane will understand the frustration of discovering a landowner who tries to deny the existance of a ROW by blocking it, offering verbal abuse, pointing shotguns etc. Good for the rambler, the golf club should have thought a bit more about it when they set out their ccurse. I have personally enjoyed driving a greenlane across a golf course. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Have to agree with Chris' comments. If it's his right, and the footpath exists, then I don't see how he is wrong. In saying that - the bluddy Ramblers know all about denial of access, so it's good to see someone else give them some grief! Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajlorton Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yeah, I know that he may well have a point, but I was just enjoying seeing a rambler being on the receiving end for once, especially as it seems like he made a bit of a prat of himself.

HoSS Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I used to live there (Dursley) - I know the said golf course - its a bit mad cos there is a footpath that cuts right across the course. Whenever i was there I would be generally in fear of my life as I crossed the fairway. Still sounds like that guy was from the millitant wing of the ramblers freedom party lol. I guess he was fined for disturbance rather than trepass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Right of Way not Right to move stuff around and be a genral pain The Tee is not exactly a gate or trailer blocking the path is it..... he could have walked round it without disurbing the golfers and getting into a fight.. Or was it new test trial for exstrem golf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
