Re: Barley is closed
Just been on the Roughlee/Newchurch road, at the crossroads looked up the Barley road to see a big hand painted sign saying 'Non residents please go home, contain the virus' or similar.

Car park is shut
However theres more cars parked on the main road than the car park would hold. I walked all the way to the sculpture trail and back as did many others

It's time for lockdown as some people have not got a clue.

Re: Barley is closed
Apparently Owd Betts pub car park was packed with people today even tho pub is closed...Are these people so dense they cannot see what is going on around them?
Re: Barley is closed
I grew up in Malham and still have a lot of friends there, we often go up to see everyone. it was rammed yesterday and no doubt today. One of my mates opened his field in order to park the cars, they'd already blocked the road, the main car park and the village. The locals are putting up signs and taking to that we'll know platform to tell every one to stay away.

I love the walking in the Malham area. Walk from Malham village along the riverbank to Janet's Foss. Then onto Gordale Scar and onwards to Malham Tarn. Head over to the top of Malham Cove and back down into the village. One of the finest circular walks in England. Mind you, I wouldn't dream of doing it at weekend or during half term. I go into the countryside to avoid crowds. Best to book a day off work and go during the week.

Same scenario in Wycoller. I think a ban is only a matter of time. Otherwise I can see people being told to go away by a farmer with a shotgun.

Who would then get to self isolate in his prison cell.
Lots of people would be bad if they are all congregated together. Going to the beach or countryside is fine if you can manage to keep that advised 6 feet apart.

Re: Barley is closed
I was going to post earlier but decided against it.
As mentioned earlier, we are probably one step away from farmers blocking roads.
What do some people not understand about non essential travel?
Probably the same sort of people who treated the pubs shutting on Friday as an excuse for a “Mad Friday “ and then bragged about it. I wonder how many germs leapt across the room in those pubs that night?
Same people will be ringing NHS in a week if they come down ill.
Stay home, stay safe, people!

Freedoms, once given away, are only returned at the discretion of the government. And usually not as an absolute freedom but as a 'right' granted by politicians which can, whenever they feel so inclined, be restricted, curtailed or removed entirely

They will not keep 6 feet apart. That's the point ! Have you seen the pictures of the seaside and the national parks ? And as for your later post about the goverment taking away liberties, well this isn't an A level politics class. I apologise in advance for being a bit arsey !

Re: Barley is closed
Not excusing some of it but I think walking out in the quiet countryside seems one of the few things still encouraged and with the good weather seems a lot of people had the same idea
I did 12 holes of golf to get some exercise and fresh air by myself where it should have been quiet. There are a few walkways between the woods that cross the golf course but normally you hardly ever see anyone if you go when the course is quiet
Today Ive never seen so many walkers who obviously didnt have a clue where they were going ending up all over the place. Two daft old women hit a dead end and instead of turning back were crawling through the bushes to get to another path.
Was a bit annoying but easy to manage with the amount of space at the course but my guess is that going to public places to go walking is gonna become a new fad unless there's some bad weather or clearer messaging about public green spaces.
Youd think the idiots who end up in Barley and places like Matlock would just turn around and bugger off once they see how packed it is but unfortunately a lot of people are just idiots

Re: Barley is closed
People need to walk around in their local area and not congregate anywhere. If you want to walk do so but do so where you live and keep your distances. Do not travel to other areas and congregate!
If these selfish people don’t learn tomorrow and keep themselves to their selves then expect that tomorrow or Tuesday the government will ban people from going outside at all. Please, please can people stop being so selfish. We all want to get back to normality as soon as possible and to do that everyone has to do it. You’re not special, you’re incredibly selfish and stupid and 99% of everyone else in the country hates you. Stop it please.

If the entire population of Colne wants to walk around Colne, it will get very congested. If the entire population of Colne wants to walk around or about Pendle hill, there is a lot more room.

Re: Barley is closed
Took my dog for a walk round my local area yesterday. It was busier than I’ve ever seen it with families walking and cycling round the place. There was room for people to keep sufficient separation and under any other circumstance it would have been a joyous scene. The only problem I had was seeing the play parks busy, I think they should be shut, just to help thick people with their decision making. Anywhere that makes congregation of people likely should be controlled or shut and nobody should be getting in their cars for none essential travel (which includes leisure). People won’t listen or take it seriously though, enforced lockdown is the only answer and inevitable.

Re: Barley is closed
I said the same thing as Stanbill, I’d never seen so many families of 3-4 out walking (who no doubt live in the sane house), all separately to any other groups. On a nice day when it had been stated by Boris that people could go out walking, I think it’s a little harsh to have a go at them.
I was out running alone and saw a few others, it was nice to have so many people to smile & say good morning to. I’m lucky to live in the countryside but for those that live in busy towns & cities, I can see why they thought Pendle hill would be safe, especially with all the mixed messages.
All my family avoided each other this weekend, I FaceTime my 85 year old Grandparents 2-3 times a day though, think it just makes them feel like they’re not alone. So glad we can do that

Re: Barley is closed
Tricky argument, isn't it? Presumably the other side (excluding the asterisks) is that people in rural villages can reckon that they are rich and have expensive houses in the country and these poorer town dwellers should stay indoors so the country folk can enjoy their vast areas of countryside.CardyTheClaret wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 7:32 amAnd ******** to the people who live there who are forced to stay indoors because of the people descending on their village?

Re: Barley is closed
Just got back from a morning cycle. The roads are really quiet; which is a blessing.
Taking the dog out over the hills behind our house, once they get up. Acres and acres of open countryside, where any other people out walking can be given a very wide berth.

Re: Barley is closed
Me and my wife and daughter (23) took the dog out yesterday but made sure we were pretty much on our own. Saw others (as has been said probably family groups all from the same house) doing the same. The official advice is that it is fine to go out as long as you don't mix with others and it makes sense. There is no doubting the danger posed to some from this virus and government advice should be adhered to without a doubt but if we are to avoid being told to stay in by order then people need to be sensible. Seeing large groups of people in parks 'mingling' is a bit sickening really. If we lose our right to go out apart from for essentials it will be the idiots who don't understand the idea of social distancing that will be to blame.
As Boris said: enjoy the open air and get some excercise but FFS stay away from other people. (Okay not an EXACT quote but that was the idea).

Re: Barley is closed
If there was ever a case for the average person in Britain being a co.plete moron (and a selfish one at that) this is it. We've had a week of locusts stripping shelves bare and now deciding that walking in the country might be a decent idea despite never really doing rhat at all before.
And as for the "50 cases in Lancashire" wake up. Without action that will be 50000 in a month with around 500 of them dead and 10000 in hospital meaning the 500 dead will probably be more from people who need that care normally- strike victims, heart attacks, cancer care - they will all be collateral damage as well if we don't nail this ****** down

The tension between the rural and urban communities in this part of the world will be nothing like the hostility towards London.
And yes it is a fact that there are very few cases of the virus in this area and to think that will explode as someone has suggested is either scaremongering or unnecessary panicking, in my opinion.
Save your anger for the people in London, they are the ones responsible for the growth of the virus.
York I think had the first case of the virus in England. A tourist hot spot . Yet look at how few cases they have at the moment. I think that tells a story

Re: Barley is closed
My two penneth on this for what it's worth. On Friday the governments advice included saying exercise was good and to be encouraged. They did say there should be no non-essential travel, but at this stage they didn't put much context around this. Of course there's plenty of people with a holier than thou attitude who seem desperate to paint these people in a bad light, but for me it's perfectly understandable why many people headed for country side, beaches, etc for fresh air and to get that exercise. Of course there was the two metre thing which quickly became problematic, and I'll come back to that later. I think it's unfair to lump them all into one basket and accuse them of being selfish as even now the governments advice is that places like parks are there for exercise as long as the rules are followed. The same applies to Pendle Hill, and what we now know is that living in somewhere like Barley, Newchurch, Sabden, etc and going for a walk or run up Pendle is perfectly acceptable. It's the driving there that's not acceptable. I think there's a big difference between people driving to the countryside at the weekend misguided than people who went out to the pub on Friday knowing they had been told to close and knowing that the government had said that people shouldn't go to them on Friday night. Somewhere in the middle is people who headed to the seaside and queued for fish and chips and then sat in a public space eating them within a couple of yards of other strangers eating them.
The two metre thing continues to be an issue though and I think further clarity off the government would be helpful. At least to keep the holier than though brigade quiet. If you're out for a walk, cycle or run it's very hard not to do this without coming within 2 yards of someone. Most of the time you can, but paths, towpaths and country lanes often aren't always wide enough and there's not always an option to cross over. The reality is that there is a practically zero chance of two runners/walkers/cyclist passing each other and spreading germs to the other as they pass on a path that does not allow a 2 metre gap. The 2 metre thing needs to be clear that it's about being stationery or moving in line with someone, not passing in what is usually a split second.

Just a heads up. Stacks of parking on drives, loads of charcoal for bbq's brilliant breeze to enhance even the cheapest sound system and a convenient stream to dispose of rubbish when the green is full.
