I'm very happy this morning! I've just got a new permission up towards the northern end of the hills. Several fields of newly ploughed soil - lovely! Had real trouble finding the owner but eventually I was pointed to a nearby barn where a very cagey man wouldn't give me the phone number for his boss.
After keeping him chatting for a minute he agreed to ring him on my behalf. I wasn't hopeful at that point, expecting a very firm "No" but if you don't ask............
I could hear the guy on the other end say "Yes, can't see why not"
Woo hoo, a really good piece of land to add to my 'Permission Portfolio"
I tried to confirm the exact boundaries but he was really vague! Oh well, I've got the farmer's name now so at least if I go on the wrong field I can show its an 'innocent' mistake - cheesy grin.
