Right of way only on foot Just after I'd taken this photo, the farmer's Land Rover hove into view behind - in a lane no wider than a car's width for 300m behind. As the lane was signed "Access only", he wondered what I was doing there (though there is a right of way on foot beyond) - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1309764">SN6339 : Close or pay!!</a> for what happened.
