As I said, "IN EXTREMIS". Listen I live here, I was born here, In fact, I was born up there and I used to own off roaders (cars and bikes) and ply the windfarm tracks and forest tracks. Do not apply British law to Spain. People die on mountains and you can be fogged out for days and die of exposure. If a farmer wants to remonstrate with me because I cut a lock, then I will happily explain the situation to them and re-imburse them if necessary. But, Wapping, people should die if they are stupid, right? Because you've never made a mistake or got yourself into trouble before. I suppose you'd fall on your sword, would you? I suppose you are the kind of person who smiles at the stupidity of dead walkers and climbers; because it's their own stupid fault, right?
Do you offroad? have you ever been up anything taller than a mound of sand? You don't have any mountains in the UK as tall as most in the Pyrennees and Picos and even if you did you wouldn't even be allowed up them on a bike. Have you ever been injured up a remote hillside or mountain with the fog rolling in? I haven't either but a fellow rider has and we needed to get back down fast and with his ankle we couldn't return the way we came. We didn't have to cut a fence, either, but I remember thinking that if we'd had to, I don't know if my leatherman pliers would have managed it.
So you're up there, and you fall, your ankle is broken or you have a deep cut. Your choices are: five miles of downhill loose and rocky (those mountains are made of granite mostly BTW and the rocks are very sharp) stones or cut a fence or break a lock and go for a mile to the nearest road on your satnav. What are you gonna do, Wapping? Leave your mate, tell your mates to leave you there? Perhaps you'll whistle for your high horse like the Lone Ranger and it will come to your rescue and all will be fine.
Streuth!!
Christ! What an imbecile you are!
