Considering the struggles that walkers / ramblers went through to gain access to the hills, it amazes me how little sympathy some still have for mountain bikers and other hill users. This is definitely not all walkers, many are not at all bothered as I don't fly past startling people and always act with courtesy. However a select few still want exclusive rights to the fells. Unfortunately a few of these have said they are members of the ramblers association when I have had the odd altercation with them, leaving me with an unfair stereotypical view of the clubs members. I once pointed out the trespass and right to roam argument which totally fell on deaf ears.
