Today's hike: "Holy shit!" moments, afraid of slipping over the edge.
Moravian comments on Apr 17, 2020:
Is that not a bit irresponsible ?. What if you had an accident and the rescue services had to be called out. We are on lock down here and only essential journeys are permitted. All car parks are closed off and only walking or cycling from home are allowed. We are enjoying some lovely spring ...
Moravian replies on Apr 17, 2020:
@LiterateHiker As I said, the diffrence in attitude is marked both by the authorities and indivuduals. All our national parks, scenic areas are closed. Yours appear to be mostly open. Only essential journeys are allowed here. Police are stopping drivers and asking if ther journey is neccessary. Hundreds of people have been fined for breaching the instructions. The lock down has been extended for a further three weeks' Trump is going to lift some of the restrictions. Although all the car parks are closed I could quite easily drive to the hills find somewhere to park and go for a hike but when I think of the milljons stuck in apartments with hardly any access to any green space I think maybe that would be a bit selfish. I am fortunate to have hundreds of acres of woodland and miles of tracks I can access from my front door so that will do me until the lockdown is lifted.
Must be a Democrat.

@LiterateHiker https://www.reneeroaming.com/responsibly-enjoy-nature-during-covid19-pandemic/ I think it is interesting to note the difference in attitude between the UK and the USA. We tend to do what we are told to mostly whilst in the USA (the land of the free)the attitude is different. Churches still open, drivers gridlocking Lansing town centre in Michigan to protest at the lockdown. Hikers driving to the mountains to hike against advice from the authorities. I live in a small village where half of the houses are holiday homes or holiday lets. Usually at Easter the place is buzzing but this year very quiet. One group of people ignored the instructions not to travel and came up from England for a break. Some of them went int the local butchers to buy supplies and the owner chased them. Well done that man.

@LiterateHiker You didn't answer my question. My son did a solo hike about a month ago. It was still proper winter conditions requiring crampons, ice axe etc. He put some amazing photos on facebook and was lambasted for being irresponsible and that was before the lockdown was fully in force. The message from the mountain rescue services is do not go into the hills.

Moravian replies on Apr 10, 2020:
@Sulla Interesting response. Although I liked and admired Corbyn, In my opinion he was too far to the left and I would presume that Starmer would be more centre left in his politics. Of course what you say about Nicola Sturgeon is a load of nonsense.and also what you say about the EU. We were dragged out of Europe by a bunch of English xenophobes and as can be seen by any observer Brexit is and will be a disaster. Nicola Sturgeon is NOT the SNP. It is thought that she will stand down after the Holyrood elections next year. She is doing a brilliant job in the current difficult situation and I believe she persuaded Boris to go for full lockdown when his "advisor" Dominic Cummings was wanting to go for the "herd immunity" approach as he considers the old and vulnerable to be expendable. That's the Tory party for you.

Nicola did say initially that Calderwood was essential with her expertise and advice and was not being sacked but no doubt the public reaction was such that she had to go. I am sure that resigning is a uephemism for being sacked. Looking on facebook, it has given the Nicola bashers an opportunity to spout their usual nonsense.

@dave1459 I believe one of the earliest outbreaks was in Kansas amongst soldiers who had returned from Europe. There are several theories on where it started and yours sounds as plausible as any. The main point I took from the article ids that although the Chinese are almost definitely responsible for the start of this epidemic we must all look at our own lifestyles. Our demand for cheap food has resulted in factory farming which in addition to being cruel can result in the spread of diseases such as bird flu,swine fever, mad cow disease etc. Also our intrusion into and disturbance of animal habitats has caused diseases such as MERS, Ebola and HIV to spread. Anyway I think after this is all over our lifestyles may have to change quite a bit.

There is reportedly a shortage of chemicals and yet a UK company is reportedly selling millions of testing kits abroad. There was a story some weeks ago about a small town in Italy with a population of around 3000 where they tested everyone and isolated those who were asymptomatic and it stopped the spread of the virus. Obviously this would not be possible on a national scale but do those people not keep abreast of what is happening around the world.

@Petter You are right of course. It is just tabloid gossip. I saw it on facebook and thought it amusing.

@SenorRotten Personally I have nothing to do with it but as many modern drugs evolved from herbal medicine there must some good in some of it. it. Modern drugs are very powerful and for example prescriptiuon opiates kill many more people than herbal cures. Homeopathy is a modern European invention and is probably more useless than acupuncture or acupressure.

@FrayedBear Point taken. I have a friend who is into Chinese medicine in a big way. Some of it is good some not so but apparently a lot of old wisdom was lost during the cultural revolution. I am wary of modern drugs and only take them if absolutely neccessary but it has nothing to do with price as our drug prescriptions are free in Scotland. I also dissmiss nonsense like homeopathy and most of the stuff that Neomi is promoting.

Moravian replies on Mar 26, 2020:
@Marionville A couple of years ago I climbed Lochnagar from Glen Muick whilst the queen was in residence at Balmoral. I was a few hundred yards above a rough track from Balmoral to Glen Muick when a police landrover appeared on the track and stopped below me for what seem like ages as I climbed up. I could almost feel the eyes watching me and I felt a bit like Richard Hannay from The Thirty Nine Steps. Won't be up there this summer though unfortunately.

Moravian replies on Mar 26, 2020:
@Marionville Yes I am aware that he is at Birkhall, one of his holiday homes in Scotland, the other being Castle of Mey in Caithness. The sample bottle story may or may not be nonsense but it is a good story. My point is that we have been instructed not to travel and stay at our main residence. He should have set an example and stayed in London and should be ashamed of himself.

Moravian replies on Mar 25, 2020:
@Allamanda Simply reason, and sites like this. What I was trying to say,poorly, was that Christianity did not spread as a virus does by instant contact from person to person.but In many cases by coercion and bribery. Islam was spread by armed conflict and then by bribery as Muslims were taxed less than Christians and Jews.
