Climb every mountain.

Goodness me.

As I write this there is a 4x4 at the summit of Snowdon the highest mountain in Wales and there has been a serious outbreak of hysteria.

I have been into 4x4 i the past and cannot deny being the one behind the wheel of  a discovery in one piece of film on you tube.

I was a bit surprised to see a Frontera at the top of that mountain though. Frontera or Mu as it is known internationally is not actually a first choice vehicle if the going is about to get tough.

The authorities are having histrionics. They successfully removed the right to roam from 4x4 owners who were using tracks like the back lane to my house for recreation. This on the grounds that they do "terrible damage".

Though of course thousands of anoraks and cagoules are not "visual polluting" and the paths they tear apart need "essential maintenance" sometimes requiring helicopters to bring in the materiel.

But anyway this guys 4x4 is on the top of a mountain it strikes me that  the obvious way to get it off it to give him back the keys and say "you bloody well put it there - shift it!!"

If this turns into a buttock clenching dice with death - so be it!!

There's the rub though, no one is allowed to be at risk or face the proper connsequences of what they do. I he kerchung kerchunged himself off the side of the mountain some stupid lawyer would be there arguing he should not have been asked to drive down rather than saying it was a risk he took when he drove up.
 
Now we are being told they are thinking of the environment and might get the air force in with a Chinook or even get up there with a gas axe, chop the thing to bits and bring it back on a train. I have chopped a fewe cars to bits and green it isn't.

That really  shows their environmental credentials, either burn shit loads of fossil fuels or make a hell of a mess cutting up a car full of oils and fuels on top of a mountain.

Sounds very green to me.....

Oh and we had fostering who would never use us again on the phone today.

Wanted us to take 2 siblings - over numbers but only for respite.

Oh yes we know about respite don't we.

Which respite placement was it that lasted over a year??
