From that 'hacking weekend' when all the stuff was deleted?
The thread I started about the toffs that had driven up the footpath in a bmw X5 to party on the top of Moel Famau, loud music, much joviality and with what appeared to be the blessing of the DCC counrtyside warden in his DCC Landrover, who was greeted with delight when he came bounding up the hill to help them carry all their shite...including a tent...down?
I was that incensed about having my freedom and right to have a nice quiet walk up me favourite hill disturbed ,that i wrote to the DCC to ask if I could p'raps take my off roading vehicle up there to have a birthday party in November, copy as follows:
Sir,
I wonder if it would be possible for me to take some friends of mine in my
Landrover Discovery to the top of Moel Famau to have a little party to
celebrate a birthday in November?
Thank you,
Mr B.T. GROWLER
Well I've just received this reply off them:
Thank you for you recent email.
Unfortunately it is not possible to grant permission for you to take a
vehicle to the top of Moel Famau. There are no vehicular rights on Moel
Famau except for vehicles associated with work undertaken.
Moel Famau is busy with walkers much of the time and it would not be
appropriate to allow vehicles to drive along these busy routes.
I hope that it will still be possible to enjoy Moel Famau as part of your
birthday celebrations.
Regards
D.S.

D. - can you respond to this please and copy me in on your reply.
Thanks. A.
Well well well. rubschin:
"There are no vehicular rights on Moel

Birthday party for the champagne swigging Director of DCC and his gin swigging mates p'raps?
"it would not be
appropriate to allow vehicles to drive along these busy routes."
Unless you p'raps 'grease the palm' of the crooked countryside ranger?
Whatever. Call me a grumpy old man, I don't give a toss. noooo:
I'm planning my next line of attack to cause maximum embarrasment to whoever sanctioned this.
You do as I say, NOT as I do.
Bastards.

I cannot believe they would break their own rules so blatantly and in full view of the public...surely? eeek:
I know the party goers hadn't 'broken in' as the gate and lock at the beginning of the path were all intact. rubschin:
I'm just wondering how to word my 2nd email in response.
The whole thing stinks of jollies for those in the know, and I'm determined to eek these toffs out of their rat holes to face some DCC tax paying public humility. evil:
I dare say they'll have their excuses well lined up, but i can at least try.
Hate to say this, but the 57 reg BMW X5 gave the game away a bit imo. This wasn't some dare devil stunt for a bit of a laugh by some local rag 'eds in a battered old Land rover swigging out of tinnies. noooo:
Got the reg's of the offending veihicles too. ;)

He said "Did you take a fvcking photograph of the people you are complaining about?"
A picture would add to your complaint ~ even if it shows only that they were there.

Wasn't that a awful programme? I formed a whole theory around that programme that was then confirmed into scientific fact by the Little House of the Prairie.
Snoopy's Theory of the Happy/Sad balance
If you are unhappy you have to run up a hill, your troubles will be resolved within thirty minutes.
If you are happy you must run down a hill so that everyone knows and will smile benignly upon you.
Sometimes you can achieve both of these within the confines of a 37 minute programme (allowing for ad breaks etc).
If you really want to ruin your parent's and friends' week you must run up the hill and then get someone to ask someone else what is the problem with you. You then wait a week before the aforementioned someone seeks you out, tells you that they understand 'cos they did the same thing 40 years earlier and then you both descend the hill smiling and laughing and it's benign smiles all round again PLUS, if you have timed it right, a slap up but homely feast.

Dear Mr S,
With reference to your reply following my e mail seeking permission to drive up and hold a party at the top of Moel Fammau this month, I was sorry to read that this is unacceptable.
This does sadly however, beg the question as to why it seemed perfectly acceptable for a large contingent of approx. 10 'toffs' in a 57 reg BMW X5 to do just this on saturday 29/09/07, who had not only erected a tent that appeared to be being used as a dressing room and beer store at the top of the hill adjacent to the fort, but were also playing music rather loudly, accompanied with rather loud guffawing and chit chat, thus shattering the usual and delightful peaceful experience that i and many others normally enjoy up there.
However, the sight of one of your rangers bounding up the hill in the council liveried Land Rover gave me hope that things would soon be sorted, and these reprobates would immediately be given a severe roasting, and p'raps even a fixed penalty notice for the error of their ways.
Most strangely however, the ranger was greeted with whoops and hurrahs of delight, almost as though he was a friend, and promptly helped them take the tent down and load some of their belongings into the back of the Land Rover, before transporting some of the guests down the hill in front of the X5.
Some sort of explanation for this seemingly, on the face of it, 'privelidged' activity would be greatly appreciated, and i await your reply in great anticipation,
Yours faithfully,
Mr GROWLER
