[QUOTE="PAAB, post: 7602408, member: 159336"] To anser some of the above comments as there has clearly been some misinterpretation resulting in some of the above posts:- 1.There was already a stone track, which has worn down so badly over the years that large boulders were now visible since we moved in. No attempt by the farm to maintain the track even though it is in the deeds that it is their responsibility to maintain it. Hence why I took the action upon myself as all previous kind requests had fallen on deaf ears 2. The track is lower by approx 0.5mtr in places than the field so no issue with restricting large vehicle by putting up a fence - the track itself is the physical width restriction. This also means that in places the sheep can;t move off the track onto the field because of the height difference. 3. Fencing the other side of the track would removed the need to have a closed gate as the sheep would not be able to access the track so the gate could stay open. We haver to stop and open/close the gate, as does everyone who drives the track (shephered, farmer, postman, delivery man - some of whom will not open a closed gate due to company policy on entering a field with livestock in it) 4. The field is rocky and hilly so no use for anything other than grazing so no need to consider muck spreading etc as being an issue Hope this helps with some of the above comments [/QUOTE]
