V for Vendetta

During the day I thought about tonight’s post, had it formed in my mind. Then something happens and it all changes. Sometimes that post thought of is used later, sometimes it never sees the light of day. It’s one of the things I love about blogging. Today is one of those days, except I know [...]

E-Petition Closes

Yesterday the e-petition to legalise wild camping in England and Wales ended. The final number of signatures on the petition was 2017. Which means it broke the 2000 barrier comfortably.
Two outstanding efforts have been from John Hee and Stef aka Bearded Git. Who have both gone to a lot of effort to raise awareness [...]

Final Day Of Petition

It’s the final day of the petition for legalising wild camping in England and Wales.
After which it gets handed over to the relevant minister/department for them to respond.
So far 1975 people have signed the petition. It would be great if today we could make it to 2000. So if you haven’t signed the petition already [...]

A Rant About The Petition

Well last Tuesday I was reporting over on the petition website that the number of signatures had hit 1500. Inless than a week we are now over 1600 signatures. Infact as I write this the total signatures to date is 1662.
Wow! With twenty days left on the petition, before it gets handed over to the [...]

Wow, what a fantastic number to reach. Thanks to everyone that has signed the petition so far. Big thanks to all my fellow bloggers that have supported this petition and all the hard work [...]

Twinkie!

So I have a supply of Twinkies to take with me on the TGOC. It was kind of my boss who was on holiday over in the US to get me a box. If I am even luckier then I will have another box in two weeks time from a work mate who has gone over to [...]

My MP Calls Me

There I was getting ready to tidy up the posting I had planed for today (which can wait until tomorrow now) when I received a call from my MP.
Let me back track a little to explain why I had the call. The other day I got fed up with having not heard anything since [...]

Flabbergasted!

I find it incredible that the online presence of a certain supposedly popular walking magazine thinks it is news about some person throwing bags of poo into a tree. BUT the petition to legalise wild camping is not news, and hasn’t had a mention!
The guys who work on the magazine are great guys (apart from [...]

A Response From Lord Smith of Finsbury

As the picture to the left shows, I received a reply from Lord Smith today. For those that can’t read the writing in the poor camera phone picture I took, here is what it says:
“Dear Darren Christie,
Thank you for your letter of a few weeks ago, about your campaign for the legalisation of wild [...]

I Need A Coffee

I have to admit that the last few days I’ve been brewing up more than normal on the dog walks. Yesterday I was out with my friend Mark. It was enjoyable being out with some-one else for a change. We chatted away during the walk, stopped at a quiet spot, brewed up. Had a couple [...]
