Angry Man in North Wales - It's the Walkers turn!
Just a short video clip of a little run in I had with a North Wales local at the weekend. I had spent Saturday on an Adventure Drive in Bala on private land and then used some green lanes to get part way home, finishing at Glyn Ceiriog.

I stopped to straighten my mirrors and sluice off my number plates and he wandered over shouting at me for ‘abusing Wales’. I very politely explained why my car was so muddy, from the previous day in Bala in a private forest but also explained I had just legally driven highways I was taxed and insured to be on. He looked vaguely confused and then wandered off behind my motor to have a go at a pair of walkers and this is a short sneakily taken phone clip of the fun.

 Check out my YouTube channel for green laning and Land Rover "how to" videos.

IMO so long s it's legal ignore them, if you have no choice be polite and then just disappear at the earliest oppertunity.
Some people thrive off of mouthing off and causing trouble.

As I said, I was sorting my mirrors out and making my vehicle road worthy so had no choice but to let hi rant for a bit. After a while you have to converse! Rolling Eyes Check out my YouTube channel for green laning and Land Rover "how to" videos.

Is this chap a horse owner or a cousin of Roger the Rambler from a previous video? Love the Lonsdale top - where are the fashion police when you need them.

Unfortunately he was ready to have a complain whatever. And for no real reason other than nimby'ism.
