English countryside

Why the FAFF is everything in this place "Private Property:
Do not Walk Across" ? In Eastern Europe, you can ramble all
you want in the fields and woods. Over here every other
bloody footpath is owned by some shit and your access to it
is denied.

The English countryside has been TAMED and privatized too
much and it is not good. I like the other European
countryside because they are good.

people own woods, fields and all that here as well, but you
can still walk there as much as you like..in most places
anyway. i mean, you won't see owners telling you to stay the
hell off of their property.

I thought all the countryside in the uk was open to the
public. Isn't that called fell walking? I think Madonna was
trying to get the law changed

my understanding is that you can walk cross private property
if there is a public right of way on the land and that you
do not deviate from it.

this is it.

No free roaming. Just boring pre-defined footpaths.

There are lots of lovely expansive areas, 'tis true, but
also plenty that have revolting restrictions.

Sounds like most places here in the USA, 'cept there aren't
any paths. Do they also like to point shotguns at you for
trespassing in the UK?

No I don't think so. I wonder if they have stuff like the
Appalachian trail though

isn't the fact that we can't go where we want a big part
missing in actual freedom?

perhaps the freedom to stop people going where they want to
go is favoured in our world

As far as I know, there are no trespass laws in Scotland;
I've traipsed wherever I've wanted and never met any
hostility.

Yeah, the trespass laws in Scotland are very lax. Ive walked
into many homes. Took a shit, fixed myself a sandwhich all
while the families are home and they never say a word.

i never let those fences and signs stop me in the english
countryside. although, i do warn you, never attempt to trek
across vast farmlands under the influence of some
psychoactive. there's an obstacle at every turn, and cows
turn hostile.

haha yes that reminds me of the time when i was in some
random field and suddenly realised i had been surrounded by
5 kind of angry looking cow bulls. not sure if they were
bulls but they did look pretty mean.

if you want to know how it turned out, i decided to show no
fear and just stand up and step forward to one of them and
then stroked its head saying, 'see, we're all friends here,
no need for any violence', whilst i'm thinking *fuck, i've
eaten so many of you, please don't kill me*

i too remember just sitting there. the cows were grazing far
off in the distance. every once in a while i would look over
and they would be closer. at first i thought it was just my
imagination until the whole troop or herd, if you like, were
on me. they had done it in such a secretive manner, as if
they were deliberately sneaking up on me. then i saw one of
those cow bull things which you speak of. it did not have
any horns, so i thought it a cow, but it was mean looking,
and made these ferocious blowing sounds. i wasted no time
and got the hell out of there. i too am guilty for eating
their brothers....or sisters, rather.

reminds me of that bestiality story where the guy was caught
by the farmer in his field in the middle of the night with a
step ladder.

that's exactly what happened to me. they were all far away
and did it all slow-like, and i had that same huffing sound
too and that thing where they dig their hooves into the
ground. it was a lot like 'the birds'. every time i looked
up they were closer. i remember thinking, 'if i move,
they'll run at me and then i'm definitely dead.' so i
decided to stay put. must be a tactic they use when in a
small group. kind of like velociraptors

Well, they try their best to ignore Americans whenever
possible, I guess.

thought it was a freak occurence. changed the way i looked
at cows completely.
