I'd also report it to the local council's Rights of Ways officer (who usually just ignores it!)
Sigh Jan 2022 1:13pm, 17 Jan 2022 11,110 posts	0 Sigh Anyway, in my dream I was racing Edinburgh parkrun which is on the same promenade. Approaching the finish with a good time in sight, all of a sudden the tide was coming in and fast and covering the route and I had to finish the parkrun by swimming the last 20 metres or so. That'd be a nightmare for the timekeepers, and the finish token person! "Please continue to bob along in the order you crossed the line, please".
Fragile Do Not Bend Jan 2022 3:21pm, 17 Jan 2022 9,101 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend 3M - I’m assuming this was England? The farmer is supposed to “make good” (whatever that means) the surface of the footpath within 14 days of ploughing it. gov.uk I know from experience this doesn’t always happen and usually in those the path gets trodden back into place by walkers.

Which I never understand as it just means people end up wandering all over the place and trampling crops / trespassing etc. Most walkers are keen to respect the countryside and keep to the appropriate paths (unless it OA land) so making it harder for them seem counter-productive.
Badger Jan 2022 7:30am, 18 Jan 2022 14,677 posts	0 Badger Fenix 7 and Epix 2 (which is 7 size, not 7X) are up on the Garmin website. Like for like they are actually a little cheaper than equivalent 6 units, but the bottom end units are gone - everything is the equivalent of the 6 Pro, and all 7X are solar, so a lot more expensive than a non solar 7. Look to have multiband GPS but they’re not pushing it very hard bar on the Epix. Worldwide downloadable maps rather than the regional ones on the 6 pro series.

Badger Jan 2022 8:38am, 18 Jan 2022 14,681 posts	0 Badger Also hearing that multiband GNSS is only on the sapphire units across the range. Which makes it pretty expensive to buy into. Pity as that is one of the things that might have convinced me the upgrade was worth it. (I mean I’ll probably do a flanker and buy one eventually anyway, but certainly won’t be first kid in the block with one)
chunkywizard Jan 2022 8:41am, 18 Jan 2022 13,321 posts	0 chunkywizard So much stuff. What's new? (I guess I wait for DCR to post!) I love how the F7X Sapphire Solar is £215 off, down to £644.99 on the day of release!
