No KIDDING!!

We did a Trough Ride last year, and are planning on repeating it this year late september... Bowland is NOT a place to mess with!

Mind you, I live not a million miles from there in deepest Pennineshire, but not abroad in Lancashire..

Ain't you got no trees?

Well, ok, maybe a few. This is our house, peeping out.
Mind you, we planted most of these ourselves.

BTW: How do you get it to say "MickF said" or whoever?

In the top right hand corner of the post you want to quote, is a button labelled <quote>

Click on that and it brings up a new post screen, containing the whole of that post with 'quote' in square brackets at the start and finish. You can add to that outside the words 'quote' or edit it between them e.g. you can delete bits you don't want to quote. It's best to check with the preview button before you post, just to be sure you have got what you wanted, especially if there is a hierarchy of quotes within quotes.

Alternatively, you can add quotes by hand. Each quoted block must start and end with a [quote] tag thus:

[quote]What you want to quote[/quote]

Note the slash in the closing tag. The above block appears like this:

What you want to quote

If you want to attribute the quote to a forum member or outside source, you can include it thus:

We've actually got too many trees. 10 years ago, when we moved into this place from further up the hill, we could see down the valley. We can't see 100 yds now!

I'm doing my best, we have a couple of acres of woodland, I cut my own to heat our water and radiators, even cook with it! But trees just grow and grow and grow.

In the old days, up until the 1950's, these valley sides were bare, the place was filled with an industrial landscape - mining and the like - and soft fruit, flowers and vegetables. Produce used to go down the river, or the "modern" railway to Plymouth, and thence to Covent Garden to be shipped all over the world. All gone now.

Trees have taken over .....
