Paul is our 'secret shopper' he is there to keep us vigilant:-O. On sunday, 4 menacing looking youths appeared in the Moors car park, having just got out of two 'boy racer' cars. They then proceeded to walk up the west Moors track. I was in the North Moors at the time, so they couldn't see me.
Immediately I took a photo of them (from a distance) and also photos of their cars including registration plates. Then texted Dave and crofty with their details, just in case, it 'got on top'. I then confronted them in a nice way:smoke:, with my 'ZULU' hat on just in case (if you know what I mean
,and explained they needed permits. What appeared to be a dodgy situation turned out to be no big deal, they left with smiles, even waving to me (and not with 2 fingers either8-P.
My point is, be be vigilant, take car registrations and photos if safe to do so, BUT don't put yourself at risk. I often hear people say they saw a dodgy character in a red car, etc etc, but didn't get the registration:eek!:
The reserve is all of ours , so just keep your eyes peeled if you can, treat it like its your own garden and act accordingly. But try not to be too paranoid
