As you are both local ( Sth Wales) I have in the recent past asked for
*local* info which I think you, Fran & Paul have all helped me with.

I live near the Chilterns and often see Red Kites on the M40. Where are
the regular feeding spots you mention, I'd like to take some photo's?

Jim,

Give me a day or two to check and I'll email you.

Read elsewhere you have departed - hope Bill & Fran don't disappear where
will I get my local knowledge from?

Well, I'm still here, but you won't get much 'local' knowledge
from me unless it's the Rhondda area you're after. Swansea's
foreign territory to me still.

The rules do not
require "high up" signs on mountains or "Snow is slippery" signs, or
for climbers to use scaffolding.

It's a shame that the BMC, MCoS, and other mountaineering bodies don't
understand this. Perhaps you could point out to them that you are
right and they are wrong, and explain that the information given by
the HSE (who are the ones responsible for over-enforcing this
nonsense) is some sort of joke or something.

There are silly Euro-scares, and there are genuine stupid thing done
by the EU (usually in conjunction with UK bureaucrats who apply things
everyone else ignores). This, I'm afraid, is one of the latter.

No. I can see French mountains from where I'm sitting (drive there in under 15
minutes) and no-one is putting up warning signs on them or requiring hard hats
to be worn.

It's more of that rabid, unexplained, mysteriously abstruse British anti-EU
propaganda that the newspapers and TV in the UK are so full of.
