Hall of Shame: Get Off Your Land

Cairnsmore (27B)

Jon Metcalf: Which do you hate most, the bogs of north Lewis, the tussocks of Jura or those scattered heather nightmares (Newtyle Hill, Bainloch Hill, Binnean nan Gobhar, Dirrington Great Law, Thorpe Fell Top)? Jura probably provides the lowest bottom feeders out of the 1554 hills for me, but Cairnsmore is a hill to direct your non-masochistic friends away from. Dave Hewitt loved it of course.

Gisborough Moor (more or less)

Graham Bunn: Whilst not on the usual route to the Marilyn, this is relevant if doing an extended walk. We did Roseberry Topping and Easby Moor and were returning toward Highcliff Nab via Gribdale Gate and Percy Cross Rigg. While on the public footpath to Highcliffe Farm we saw a Land Rover drive down the moor, and a youngish man got out to meet us. He informed us that there wasn't a path here and we were scaring ducks and partridge. I agreed that there wasn't a path on the ground, but he didn't understand the principle of a right of way, even when shown the map. He eventually left us to wade through to the Cleveland Way, as he went off to chase after another walker on Codhill Heights, which is also on access land. We reported the incident at the information centre in Pinchinthorpe. The warden there said that a number of access problems have been encountered in Sleddale, which is the dale to the west of Gisborough Moor.
