lancer425 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) The got a fine alight when the CHIPS Pulled them up.

WalkedUp Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Seems fair enough as they were clearly breaking lockdown. However there is a fish shop in Machynlleth that would be worth the fine for. Great after an evening flight on the Dyffi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 hello, is there not a good fish and chip shop in Rochdale ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 These have been popping up constantly about the lake district, saying people in camper vans, cars with canoes on, 7 seaters day tripping have been turned around or escorted back to the motorway??

Vince Green Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Clearly the fish and chip shop was the excuse they gave when stopped but nobody drives that far for a chippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Two bikers who failed to comply with the current advice and forgot that their number plates will be screaming out to any ANPR equipped police car that they are NOT local! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there was anything sinister in their motives. A nice ride out to the seaside on roads that are very clear right now. Ideal conditions for those that enjoy the two wheeled form of transport. Fish and chips, a bit of a look around and then a blast back home. Under normal conditions check out Matlock Bath on a nice summer day. It's always crowded with bikers from miles around.

lancer425 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 They were having a ride, but its no excuse. I would have loved to have a ride up there or wetwang or Layburn Even just Nip across To chapel ST Leonard s. But its Lock down . Seems some are slow at learning.

A tad extreme given that it's a £60 fine for breaking the lock down. Remind me not to give you the keys to the Home Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a while since my last visit as BASC had to cancel the day ticket scheme on the Dyffi due to political interference with NRW.... A disgrace from Labour, BASC had their hands tied.

Had they done this at the start say after the first three weeks of lockdown and fines were issued it would have driven the message home, it's only a £60 fine but it could be helping spread things we just don't know. Like I said above I'm not convinced the stories are 100% true, they could just be to make people think twice about going out for a nice drive.

Its not complicated really Well it managed to be complicated for several politicians and Cressida D1ck. Then there are our police and emergency services who seem to enjoy gathering on Westminster bridge each week. Are they being fined for breaking the lock down? Somehow I doubt it.

I’m well aware of the problems Wildfowlers are getting from NRW caused largely by the machinations of their local rep on the Dyfi........Wildfowling/Wildfowlers in general, are under attack and having similar problems with NE!

Tell us about it 🤥 - on the Sunday before the "official Lockdown" when we had all been asked to stay home it was busier than a sunny august bank holiday!

oldypigeonpopper Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 hello, i think this will backlash on the Welsh Labour Government as Wales has a large population of Labour voters who see shooting as part of their way of life, there must be many shoots on Forestry Commission land, private landowners with game shooting, small syndicates, and this must employ many gamekeepers, hospitality, hotels, B and B, not forgetting rearing game and feed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
