Thanks noj, I'm sure that was the right thing to do. Whilst we are all in favour of free speech, it has been getting a bit unpleasant in here recently - in fact, I for one have voted with my feet and only visit occasionally now, mainly because the forum seemed to have been invaded by potty-mouthed adolescents. So thank you and well done.

I'd like to assist our "new" member freebird in reminding him of the terms of behaviour ..

"You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this BB to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy"


Of his 11 posts 10 are purely
derogatory slights and attacks on one particular forum member and as such this
is a form of harassment and bullying.

Of course I could be totally mistaken but the whiff of NW and the Avuncular One
are oozing out of those eleven posts.
If so, and this gentleman has indeed been deemed inappropriate to the forum, the the moderators should be aware that the poison remains.

In the mean time, I can only paraphrase one of his posts and say that he would be doing the future of this forum a great favour if he was to "go away".

You know, I hate to admit this but I have decided I haven't a clue who is who on this forum. I can't work out the bad guys from the good. Must be my age.

The best way is not to rise to the bait, ignore them and they wont have any point in carrying on with their rattle.

Just returned to site after almost a year.
Shades of Norman ?????

Yes, I just might have a year away from this site, in which case I will be back around May 2010. Bye.

I imagine the LEJOG is not as beautiful as the C2C, but it would earn me bragging rights.

Not if you take four years and four separate visits.

Unless you want to "brag" (hardly a worthy motivation for walking) then don't waste your time.

So many superior walks on the planet...

The reason for this message board is to help Sherpa to promote their services and I thank them for the many people that they enable to enjoy a walk without carrying too much on their backs. It is also to enable us to exchange walking information. Whilst this part of the board is for "General chat" I don't see that as a reason for unreasonable comments such as the one that was, in part, reproduced above.

mmmm!!!

Clearly if individuals don't know where to draw the line or how to moderate their language then they are likely to have problems; they shouldn't expect Sherpa to tell them exactly what is not acceptable.

Not posted on here for well over a year I think. Walking has become somewhat of a memory since the move to the smoke and hectic job has taken over :-( Pleased to see same old posters posting. Hope to get back into the walking soon :-)

Made up for it today with a brilliant,but shower laden walk from Westerdale up to Blakey Ridge,passing Fat Betty,where the sun came out in all its glory and back down to Westerdale.

That's no good. You should make time for a decent walk every so often. Nobody knows when they will be struck down by sereious illness or worse and not be able to get out at all.

Hi Mark,
did you walk on the road to Blakey Ridge or on the route of the Rosedale Circuit towards Botton, maybe even
straight up the dale then turn of above Farndale.
which ever way you went it would be a good walk

Hi Mark,
followed your route on the map and it looks a good walk, will have to remember to walk it some time when i have bit to spare, i could start from the Old lion as it would be nearer to drive.
it reminded me of a time when did the L.W.W. unsuported.
We had a rest and some refreshment at Exklets,
The walkers had all brought some tins or packets of soup.
we were trying to heat them all in a pan on a fancy stove,( a block of porous substance)soaked in meths. only trouble was we had no lid for the pan and the heat was escaping and the food was not getting warm, any way some one had the bright idea, to put another pan on as a lid. the thing was the pan had been stood on the ground and when it was taken off all the rubish it had picked up off the ground was in among the soup. we sorted it out as best we could. ate it. Then we went on our merry way,
before we had got to Flat Howe we had a contest see who could throw or regurgitated refreshment the farthest.
Pleased to say there were no aftereffects

ahhh get me out of here before I bore myself to death.

What she wants to do is get out of London. Anyone can get bored to death there.

How about removing all those ads for shoes, bags, etc that have appeared recently.

Aren't we just addictive!
