Seil Chat

.
I read in a recent CC minutes that there has been a suggestion that some of the paths and common walks around Seil should be waymarked.

We have just been up the back of the church on the path over to Easdale. I see that someone has waymarked part of it - the part that is straightforward and impossible to miss, that is. All the difficult bits - such as the bit immediately above the church or turning in through the kissing gate above Kilbride - have not been waymarked.

Has this been done semi-offcially, is it an unfinished project by a philanthropic individual, or is it someone's evil plot to lure holidaymakers into the swamps?

...and before anyone replies, just make sure you're a "movement" and disagree with the government, otherwise Nick will think it's a conspiracy!!

I was going to let your previous lack of comprehension pass unremarked Minimum, but as you have brought it up again . . .

The reference in the post of mine you are referring to to the 'environmental movement' referred not to LESS as you appear to have thought, but to a rather wider movement than LESS or any local group.

What is usually understood as the environmental movement traces its history from the Diggers through 60s communes and the Whole Earth Catalog to Greenpeace and the proliferation of groups today who are trying to persuade the powers that be to grasp the nettle of climate change.

And . . . by its very nature, the environmental movement has always been in opposition to the government of the day, governments being interested in short-term issues such as bribing the electorate with dodgy economic miracles so they can get re-elected.

Hope that clears up any misunderstandings.
