    Peaks Protest 'Back to Tarmac'

    I was at the filming on chapel gate and I hope they don't use the film of some jimnys attempting to get up. Didn't look good and that will be fuel to the fire if its not edited correctly. Happy to have got up at six and attended to stand up for a great cause. Al.

    mr grumpy at donkey sanctuary lane

    The tree in question Red was on the lane side of the wall. Fair game as I see it. Yeah I could have reasoned with the fact if I had to trespass to use a tree as a recovery point but that wasn't the case. As it happens I pay extra on my insurance to cove me for green laning and off road...

    If this scumbag gets found out.....name and shame! You can't go around helping yourself to other peoples ****. What would have happened if you got a flat??? Wrong on all levels that. Round ere we call that a ****s trick.

    is the peak protest still on?????

    Seems like there is a bit of confusion regarding the peak protest about the closing of chapel gate. Is it still on? Are people still going? Is it still on the agenda? Its only a few days away and we need to know. Anyone? Thanks Al.:)

    I was thinking if you needed to make something more permanent and had an expedition going landy. You could wrap some 10mm copper pipe around your exhaust and with a small pump ( the type found on cars cooling systems ie 12v) circulate into a suitable tank and whilst you drive your heating up...

    Peaks Protest 'Back to Tarmac'

    Trying to re arrange an appointment at work so I can go to this. How can you moan if lanes get shut because when you had a chance to stand up and be counted you did nothing. If you can get a day off or can get there, make the effort. Stand up and be counted!

    mr grumpy at donkey sanctuary lane

    Like I said we offered to stay and help said farmer get to his cattle even when we were faced with aggressive abusive anger. Wish we could all be as perfect as you. Oh and by the way if your the type of person that listens to all the government has to say and follows there advice word for word...

    Any in manchester area

    Lol I think what people mean is......don't expect people to had over routes and lane details that easy. The KFC recipe would be easier to find out than getting them details. Put your self about, watch threads and jump on board and if your not someone that should just stick to pay and play...

    mr grumpy at donkey sanctuary lane

    Too true blue! At times like these the bobblies would love to jump on a story about 4x4 drivers fighting with farmers etc over driving on a lane. We ALL have to bite our tounges sometimes and dissolve the situation and not get dragged into a situation that can only go against us. Just wish all...

    mr grumpy at donkey sanctuary lane

    Being an ex doorman I know how to deal with situations like that no matter the out come. I could understand where he was coming from as his animals are his livelyhood not just a hobby like me up that lane but he shouldn't be telling people they shouldn't be there and threatening to commit...

    Awesome night of laning in the snow in Derbyshire!

    I knew someone had been up donkey sanctuary could see that! That's why we fancied giving it a go. Had the farmer ranting at us this afternoon because we got stuck and were winching up! Good ol kl 71s great in mud **** in snow! Al.
