Have decided after this weekend I definitely need blacked out Windows .....all the odd looks whilst kipping in a busy service station sealed the decision for me :eek:

Anyone know a company that does it and how much ?

Its easy enough to do.. use some soapy water in spray bottle with a soft thing to squeegee out the bubbles and use a hair dryer to get any remaining ones out.
nice flat window in a defender.
 
Right guys and galls just to let you all know i have been informed that a farmer in the south lakes who has a lane which runs up through his field (WHICH HAS A ONE WAY ON IT ,DOWN) a group off landrovers tryed to go up the lane and failed so then went on to his field and chewed it to s@@t so he then stopped them in his tractor has got the registration numbers and is going to try his best to prosecute the said persons.now the person leading probably thinks it was a laugh but it is just what the national park are looking for, so well done.now i will probably get a load of abuse but as i live around here i like to still use the lanes that are still left.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our group, likely.

We'd followed a track, clearly marked at the start with no indication as to direction, that later went across a field according to the map.

Half of us got across the field, through a gate and while we waited for the others further along the track, the farmer came along the road, stopped his tractor almost out of sight and walked over. He shouted us we'd gone over his field and not used the track. We apologised, he agreed the track couldn't be driven, but that it was the legal route through 'his' field. It was also legal where we were parked and through the gate, just that going over his field was wrong. We agreed with him that those still in the field turned round, those of us on the legal bit carried on. He suggested this as best for the land .. and he left quite happily that we were going to update Trailwise

We were probably 10 yards from the 'real' track, an honest mistake when using 1:50000 maps, he said only trailbikes make it through these days and we chatted about various things .. He started off beligerent, and left us quite happily!

Dunno how he took numbers 'cos he never went near the vehicles.

The actual track was a jumble of broken walls and trees/hawthorn bushes .. i doubt I'd ride a bike through! When we got to the road there was again a Public Way sign, but no indication or signage that there was a one way system or traffic direction in force. How were we to know that?

He's talking out his arse, basically ... ;)
 
I guess if he says he has numbers he could be trying it on with a different group.

Just checking my MMTracker tracks off my phone and might get a grid reference of where the issue was.

I agree the field was damaged, but we were following some existing tracks, and as I said, the farmer, if he were the farmer, left quite happyily or at least not miffed!
