    I was in Lee's on the Weekend. Farmers still got the gate to Tarn Hut locked from the road. Been that way since July last year. I saw others parking for the Wharfdale track by the road end. I didn't stop to check if that was locked as well.

    the 3.7km extra each way to Tarn really sucked.

    Just as illegal as cutting the lock and driving in. Doing something like that can hurt hunting access for a lot of folks, across a lot of areas.

    I would rather just go to a different spot with legal access and/or a shorter walk.

    Take a mountain bike, it's a long flat boring walk before you get to doc land
