Had a great ride today. When I started, the sun was warm on my back and my I Pod had a Steppenwolf/Led Zep mix for the 5 or so miles on busy urban roads and as I reached the start of my intended rural loop, there was little wind, the birds were singing, hardly a cloud in the sky nor car in sight. Off went the music, a quick drink and away I went. As the miles ticked by I felt like I may be the only person left in the world at times, 20 minutes between seeing another soul, and as I passed the gently spinning wind turbines, all with the world was great. Then as I passed through a farmyard that straddled the lane, the sun went from behind a cloud, as I turned a bend in the road, there sat a burnt out car, nose first in the roadside ditch, but at least the car was stopping the flow of fast food cartons and drink tins from bobbing thier way along the ditch towards the farm. About 50 meters further on there was a pile of hardcore dumped in the entrance to one of the fields, along with what appeared to be the remnants of several conifers that had been cut down and dumped beside the hardcore, along with several tyres.
Who are these people that use our countryside like a tip for all thier unwanted rubbish. Why, if they take the trouble to go out into the countryside, cant they go to the proper place and dispose of the rubbish properly. My mood was broken. The whole day had now been marred by the memory of the thoughtlesness of these events. All I could do on the rest of my ride was look out for further incidents of the same type of selfish and inexcusable behaviour.
Make them clear it up, send them to do community service, fine them, name and shame them. But first y'godda find them. Something that there seems to be neither the rescources, nor the will to do.
I dont know what the answer is, but something needs to be done to stop these selfish acts and bring the guilty to justice.
Sorry.......rant over.
