Odds & Sods 2021

It doesn't say you can lay down - you're expected to just stand there!!

After sitting for an hour in the wind and rain this morning, a Meadow Pipit popped up during a brief lull in the weather.  :-)

Ah, so that's what was the other side of the sign!

No, the other side of the sign was STARTING permitted!

The other side says 'No Stopping' and gives a reason, but i'd be very surprised if anyone could guess what the reason is.
I'll take a photo of the other side next week.
In the meantime, feel free to have a guess.!! :-)

I walked for 4 days solid, then lay down behind the sign.!! :-)

This posting made me think of: "The Proclaimers - 500 Miles (Jools Holland)"

Though I would very much doubt you'd have walked 500 miles in four days!

Something like, single track, soft verges and no passing places.... or Army firing range...anything that sits still is a target

..hang on .....er..... nope.  :-)

It reminds me a bit of the "no picnicking sign" that used to be in the run off sandpit at the bottom of Porlock Hill in Somerset. Something that is obvious to locals, but not to strangers. So it must be some local hasard? Hunting on grouse moor?
