I asked them nicely, but they didn't listen.

Some local louts churning the place up with a 100cc Quad Bike. I've known these pair of creatures since they were kids. Obviously they must get paid too much to be buying such toys. I've advised them that they can have good clean fun on an ebike, without leaving a trail of destruction in their wake! :D

Kind-of a reversal of Chelsea Tractors dropping kids off at school - clearly these two were dropped-off in the wrong county...

Good vid. Kudos for challenging them..
It was more an "Hey, I'm on your side. However, you'll mess it up for all of us.." than a confrontation really. They took it quite well. Obviously not giving a toss regarding my point.

As soon as I was out of sight, the guy was busy doing doughnuts again. :rolleyes:

Did you notice the state of the grass after he'd done!

Since you know who they are, involve the police to get them an official warning. They are breaking a very old law that prevents any motor vehicle leaving the road more than a short distance without the landowners permission. Without that permission they are also liable to a civil action against them for the damage.

I've been told it's no longer legal to make pies out of people or feed them to hungry pigs. Apparently.
It's probably something to do with food safety:rolleyes:
Oxygen thieves.

Get real Fleccy old boy. All they're doing is upturfing the manor! That vehicle has probably never seen a road since the day it was stolen.

Anyway, I ain't no grass!.. Get it? :D

On a serious note, our Metropolitan Police Z division do co-operate with us when our nature reserve gets similarly invaded by quad bikers, so they can help if asked.

On our Nature Reserve website we have photos and IDs of all the identified species of Fauna, Flora and Fungi.

In the Vertebrates section of the Fauna the species below is entered as Male Hominid, Homo sapiens, with a note that we'd like to see this variant eliminated from the reserve:
