I have to add though that the stiles gates and bridges are in excellent condition, at least those I accessed yesterday. The signs however just look a tad incongruous and are placed so you almost have to brush shoulders with them just to walk forwards.
When I got fiercely verbally abused, whilst squarely on a right of way, above Tregarron, I carried along my rightful way, with the landowners curses ringing in my ears and the all the gates on his land were well hung, latches worked perfectly, all oiled and in perfect conditioned. It was the occasion that first alerted me to be suspicious of the underlying hostility that was growing in the countryside.
3 decades earlier I would have been selling livestock to his father or other relatives in Welshpool Livestock auction, that was when I started to read the articles the landowners write that do not get onto the public platform.
