And a word for Nigel - there's plenty of unplanned roads in the Cumbrian fells - would you complain ?

You should keep in mind I'm not running Dial-a-Protest! ;)

If they're nasty straight corporate logging tracks then I'm agin 'em but I quite like "shortcut tracks" created by generations of pedestrians, that have grown organically and reflect a sort of bond between the land and those that have lived there. Signatures on the landscape, left by people that used to own it. Or does that sound poncey?

I have to confess I created a road when I were a lad, always driving the tractor along the same line across a virgin field, against orders. It's still being used. Looks bronze age.

And my mother's collapsed side garden was deposited as a mound in a nearby field and I caught her telling an earnest townie it was ancient and called Olive's Tump. I hope to see it on TMA one day.
