The Farmwatch signs aren’t actually against ramblers at all – they’re against sheep rustlers and quad-bike pinchers, both of whom are greatly on the increase in the countryside nowadays. You’ll also see a lot of farms using (and displaying notices about) smart water on their equipment (although not on their livestock unfortunately).

We also have a monitoring craze in Denmark. A particularly beautiful scenery was completely destroyed by the use of fences signs and cameras.
It seems to be a beautiful area, Alen. It is unfortunate that there were no ghosts. If one of the grouse had crept into the Hobbit hole without you noticing it
All the best,

Oh dear, it was all going so well! I love the pics of the heather moorland and the old tracks. I think those signs are an offence in themselves, assuming that your intentions are dishonest or suspicious. Talk about George Orwell! There’s no simple decency or respect any more. PS What would my ‘whussell’ be, if someone condemned it to Hexham?

Tent looks good Alen. I’ve just deleted a long rant about the type of people that vote Tory because I may have offended some of your readers. Lol as they say nowadays.
