Shockingly biased. Typical BBC

[jims-terrano]

That lady totally refused to understand people who want to greenlane in their cars. The Program wasnt really biased tho, I thought it was balanced.

[Madmark]

I had a silent cheer when the guy said byways are and have been roads for hundreds of years. Bloody ramblers only want country side for them selves!!!!! The fact They walk wherever they please crushing things with out realising. Just shut up and walk somewhere else!

[Sweety]

What a lot of people forget is not everyone is able to walk or walk far due to disabilities etc but getting in a 4x4 & driving or being driven down green lanes they don't have to miss out on the quiet parts of the country side & the wildlife you often get to see

Well they certainly chose well aimed derogatory phrases against "offroading"
While on Salisbury plain they implied the great destruction of a sight of special scientific interest. Totally avoiding the fact that the tank tracks and army craters in the area are ofcourse fine for nature and create far worse tracks etc.
The smarmy lad who does One Show made a cheeky gibe in the second part intro too
The Peak District bint was so concerned that there was no bio diversity on the tracks Well bugger me, shoot all the sheep then .
When the last foot and mouth outbreak happened the high lands around here were absolutely beautiful with all manner of plants not seen for ages as the sheep eat everything down to a stump
Escapes me just now as my wine has consoled me somewhat after all the ruddy rain today ?

What she doesnt say is that once got rid of motors will then fight to get rid of horse
and cycles and then when theres a cull of paths we wont be there to support RoWs.

Oh and didn't we all get many of these rights from mass trespass by what would
become the RA. When did any motorist trespass on mass, intentionally other than
a few misguided individuals either not reading signs/maps or going off piste even
accidentally.

She just needs to walk on the other thousand + miles of pedestrian only paths!

indeed several lanes i've driven are there for the land owners' vehicle access too and
I want to wouldn't to walk them and meet a tractor etc, yet we're not saying they can't
walk them.

I will have the pleasure of meeting her and her cronies when I attend a hearing in September about downgrading the lane that they where filming on.
we will also be driving it in the may meet as it may be the last chance we get.
