After a trip to Elaine's Tea Rooms in Feizor, what better than a surreptitious bit of droning just outside the village. First warm-(ish) day of the year. hopefully not the last. There's some good walking to be done here in the foothills around the Craven Fault. That's Smearsett Scar just behind the village, leading to the enigmatic Celtic Wall, and the path over to Little Stainforth. #YorkshireDales #A65 #Feizor #stainforth #elaine's

$The Real Difference between Britain and America Our attitude to the right to walk anywhere. In Britain we have public footpaths that have been in use for centuries, millennia even, including the right to walk across land that is actively farmed: for livestock and meadows, and scrubby uplands. This comes with the responsibility not to destroy a farmers crops or scatter their livestock, of course. America has 3 million square miles of land, but only a tiny fraction has designated footpaths, typically in National and State Parks. Farmers do not welcome you to walk on their land. Indeed, they all have guns and you might very well get shot. Whereas we in Britain just walk in the fields in our daily lives, I never in 25 years saw any sort of access to private farmland in the USA. And yet, up till 1776, the Native Americans were walking everywhere. What happened to their paths and their rights?$
