I fenced accross a footpath at 18” and 24” height wire. Local footpath nazi lady came and had a go. I said the stiles first step was 30” on the way in and out of the field, so if you can get your leg over that you can get your leg over anything. (Said in a jokey way) Her husband laughed she didn’t!…… Formal letter demanding its removalWorth noting where it crossed the footpath we had put alkathene pipe over the wire so no chance of a zap, plus a sturdy wooden post to keep balance whilst stepping over)
