I work in the building trade I can’t complain to much as it pays my bills but what is a killer is when your working on houses sat on land that was yours you had run dogs on for years my old town were I used to live at last count had 17 active building sites on I used to be able to go out at dusk an get back at dawn an give a dog a decent nights work these days with the amount of development it’s cut all the land up in to sections were as beforehand it was just field after field after ungated fields all farms an land was interlinked an joined now it’s a case of get to a spot by vehicle dump the vehicle get round a bit of ground then drive to the next spot

Developers are a bigger threat to hunting than antis, it will get to a stage where everywhere you go will either be built on or surrounded by buildings

Pretty much like that already here mate you just got to be flexible and adaptable

Depends where your permission is.... Some places will never be built on.... That's why I travel 2 hrs 1 way for a day out with the dogs

And worse its going to get mate

Definitely mate it’ll get worse like dan as said though you have to get your self about a lot of land won’t be built on or can’t be built on I’m always on the look out for spots to drop on for a shine being freelance most of the time I keep eyes peeled for potential spots There’s always potential if you look at public rights of way foot paths find we’re they are scope the land we’re they a joint to on day time walks for potential see we’re they go then hit them at night

Basic common sense never seems to get in the way of developer’s greed

I'd say 90% of the land I walked as a kid is now housing estates or industrial. Glad I've moved away.
