I know I shouldn't be annoyed with them as I acually empathise with them in many respects - it's a purely selfish rant and annoyance - almost childlike - it was the carved heads in the wall that did it Guv :) I felt as though someone had snatched my sweets from me :( All that said, I am inclining more and more toward my idea of access to land supported by tax payer handouts ! Goldeneye Holdings gets no handouts - if I can't make money I go bankrupt - simple as ! Power to the People :) Best Rod Hi Chris,

Tresspass is not a law its a Civil Wrong, if you proceed through an open gate you are not breaking the law, the way they get you is if you do damage the property ie walking through crops, if you get approached and asked to leave the land and refuse then they can use reasonable force to evict you from the land however if you say you will leave there is nothing they can do apart from escort you off the land. this aplies unfortunatly to your own garden aswell. if you are unlucky enough to only own your home and not the mineral rights to your property as most people in our area are then you could wake up one morning with a drilling rig in you front garden spewing oil out in barrells and there is nothing you can do about it. anyway save the allied forces comming to liberate you on this one if you start burning the well.. just some fod for thought regards chris....... rod welcome to my world
as soon as you start talking about history farmers start thinking about Archeaology this puts farmers backs up (not all tho) Archeaology can cost farmers alot of money, if they set there ploughs to low they drag things to the surface and damage the stratigraphy and things get lost its a big bone of contention, this is why i have alot of time for metal dectorists they find things in the topsoil that would normaly be disgarded by the Archeaologists and thus lost, however you try getting permission to metal detect and you will hit a brick wall as farmers are now scared what will be unearthed and the implications,

Im with you on this one Rod i think if we pay the subsidys then we should have reasonable access to the land.
i have a long running dispute with my local LORD, for access to the burrial site of my ancestors, he has been trying for years to stop me visiting the exact burial spot on certain days, these people are a law until there self.

if you are unlucky enough to only own your home and not the mineral rights to your property as most people in our area are then you could wake up one morning with a drilling rig in you front garden spewing oil out in barrells and there is nothing you can do about it.

anyway save the allied forces comming to liberate you on this one if you start burning the well..

just some fod for thought

I love these armchair adventures, and really look forward to reading about your quests each day. Since most of California was built up after WWII, we don't have many historical sites, nor is there any quaint countryside around me, so I relish the pictures you post. I yearn for the day when I might see them in person. Kep on, keepin' on, old son. Annie Hi Rod,
