Could we see the Risk Assessment? This looks decidedly home made and a bit dodgy. It's on a trailer, but doesn't look like it's been anywhere for some time.

Junk and Mess at Vyne Lodge Farm So you've followed the footpath quite happily until you get here, where an unofficial looking small notice says "footpath comes to a dead end here" Well, maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. We've all heard stories about landowners trying it on where public rights of way are concerned. But it's a nice day, let's not start a rant. So, from the public footpath, without trespassing, here is a picture of walker friendly Vyne Lodge Farm. Enjoy.
