Neil---it's already happening bro. This thread is for 'the bigger picture' views of what is going on in this country as more and more crags 'lose their charm' due to what Kyle refers to as 'more bolts, more chalk, more crap in the bushes'
Your articles are 'bench-mark' ; your 'my views, my work' attitude doesn't give much credit to your buddies ; the replacement of dangerous rust is commendable, tho, a closer association with the VCC would give you more political credibility, as the insidious tentacles of DOT-GOV roam closer and closer to the very places that we go to,to get away from etc,etc,etc.
Hopefully people, especially people who aren't as 'hard-wired' into 'the scene' as the 'low-profilers', will feel able to make a casual contribution ,without feeling 'big bother-bothered' by your ' your either with us or against us' vibe.
To anyone who has or wants to contribute , this is '[everyone's] own forum'---not mine.
The route 'ownership' thing still isn't clear : do land owners and DOT-GOV have any say beyond the access issue ?
Luv HEX
