Timely Obstruction

Despite today's 50mph+ gusts and horizontal rain, there have been some good conditions this week for a visit to Blacka Moor. This half-term week is always popular and the small car park at Stoney Ridge is often full.

In line with past practice, well-known to regulars, SWT has chosen this week to deposit a load of stone thus seriously limiting traditional access.

No communication, no explanation, not even an insincere 'Apologies for any inconvenience". Communication is of course the nub. They are prepared to spend many hundreds of public and/or charitable monies in erecting 'interpretation boards' (PDNPA comments closed this week). But simple courtesies and consideration are not in their job descriptions.
