Re pic 6 Do they supply poo bags from the bins? Please fill and return.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes that is a poo sack dispenser - it says "Help us to keep the environment clean - just pick up your bag". Don't know where the disposal bins were though!

Re: Today in pictures
 

They have them everywhere in our village too wherever there are public green spaces -very civilised the Italians!

You have to take your little packs of Poo home and put them in your organic waste bin!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Would love to see:
2 You
3 Pendle from Boulsworth

in original colours!!


You would never get me in that pose on number two -high risk I would chuck myself off -I suffer from vertigo!:D

Re: Today in pictures
 

There don't seem to be so many dogs about in public in Europe as there are here - I mean dog ownership is more responsible and there are not so many mutts about off the lead as you see here.

The cemetery behind our house is a recognised dog walking/pooing area and despite there being bins there is always a lot lying around on the ground - and on our private road too which is why I never pick blackberries from our verges despite them being loaded. Folks just let their hounds off the lead and then look the other way.

I actually took that photo in Ravenna to show to the council bods who look after our cemetery but never got round to showing it to them!

Re: Today in pictures
 

as requested, also stuck a self portrait in

Re: Today in pictures
 

and believe it or not i too get vertigo, just gotta fight it, sometimes i have to go in middle lane driving over bridges lol

Re: Today in pictures
 

I'm assuming the bags are biodegradable otherwise you'd have to take the sh1t out of the bag first?

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes, they're made out of something derived from maize i believe!

Re: Today in pictures
 

Thank -you! Great pics.

I too love fell-walking - don't get much of it over here as I live in the middle of a massive flat plain. I'm no-where near as fit as you look either but I get there eventually!

I thought it was just me -the crackpot with the thing about bridges!:D

I posted a photo of me on here a while back looking back up at a scramble I managed to descend coming off Place Fell near Ullswater -friend Dave in front to block the view. It broke the ice a little and was a proud moment -before that I missed the final part of the ascent up Catbell's because i chickened out:o

I said to my friends: the only kind of scrambling I do involves eggs!:rolleyes:

Re: Today in pictures
 

tried looking for your pic, couldnt find it :(
as for the jumping off heights and driving of bridges, its the brains way of dealing with the fear of falling, it just accepts the inevitable and wants it over with quicker, so unless you are truly suicidal, the 3 points of contact usually helps, i think its exposure that does it for me, if i have a stick i dont feel anywhere near as bad, give it a try
