The countryside and rural areas scare me. I have always been in a city, and all that space and freedom makes me go mental. I start thinking about arming myself.

>>2701
I'm exactly the same with regard to urban areas, I live in a small/medium size city for uni (200,000) and it's fucking weird.

>>2701
Have you ever seen the stars?

>>2703
No. If I leave the city, will I see it? Anyway, it is always grey and cloudy.

>>2702
I feel safest when I am in packed areas. I don't know why. I suppose it is to do with where one is brought up.

>>2704
>No. If I leave the city, will I see it? Anyway, it is always grey and cloudy

Oh dog, you're missing out man, they're beautiful. I could lie outside for hours just looking at them.

Semi rural. Good for bike rides, shite for almost everything else.

>>2705

I concur.

I love rural life. I live in a small village but still wish I was even more out there..I am very annoyed, as is everyone else (here at least) at the constant attempts to build more houses that will never get used on every bit of green available, though. They seem intent on getting rid of the countryside at the moment, or any green buffer between small towns/villages.

Unfortunately that seems to be the way things are going. There is at least 5 plans around here to build housing estates, and everyone local is objecting to them yet they will most likely go ahead anyway, as at least 2 already are.

>>2707

Are you a posho?

>>2708
If it's only poshos that have any will to preserve the countryside then non poshos can get fucked.

>>2708

Do posho opinions not count then?

>>2707
If some where is so urbanised as to have green buffers rather than a couple of miles of open fields between towns and villages even small ones then it isn't exactly rural.

This thread is so depressing. I wish my job situation allowed me to live rurally.

>>2851

Become a poacher.

I live on an alpaca farm of sorts, am a member of a local environmental conservation charity and take part in the village fair.

>>2853
Oh, I missed the second paragraph of OP.

I have a lot to say about it, but I'm not in the right mood to go into it yet. Will post later.

>>2700

Im surprised citylad hasn't come in to tell you all how you are cunts.

I live in Denny, which is 4 or 5 miles of fields in either direction to either Stirling or Falkirk. It is really nice to be able to go for country walks and take my bike out for the day if it is nice. The views of the Ochil hills are brilliant from here on a clear day, also.

However, I haven't seen the stars since I was a kid. It is too bright, even here. I used to live in a village called Blackridge and that was properly rural and I could see the stars there.

I think my proximity to the BP refinery in Grangemouth is the problem rather than light, now that I think about it.

>>2855
I live on the edge of Edinburgh, pretty much as close to the bridges as you can be, but I climb the Ochills and the Lomonds quite a bit, it's a nice area. I always found coastal Lothian pretty bland and depressing, but further inland there's some really great hidden countryside.

>>2851
I'd love to live rurally too but my skills involve using computers and therefore the internet. No chance of getting decent internet in the green.

That and I'm worried and a little intrigued/aroused about the supposed swinger and sex cults prevalent in rural areas.

>>2855

>Denny

>Rural


Denny is pretty urban as far as I know, I live in Stirling now, but I grew up in rural west shetland.

>>2929

Denny has a population of about 8000, and that is pushing it. It is surrounded on each side by miles and miles of countryside. All you need to do is pick a direction and you'll find a country walk/reservoir/wood to explore.

Lots of mushroom picked to be had as a result.

>>2930
>and that's pushing it
Are we supposed to be impressed?

>>2932

Pardon? I suggest you go back and read that again because you appear to have failed to comprehend the English language, I suspect not for the first time.

>>2933
Stop having cunt offs everywhere lad. Christ.

>>2934

Am I being trolled? I think I'm being trolled.

>>2935

See a doctor about your delusions lad.

>>2936

Now we've veered so far off piste I fear we have gotten ourselves stuck.

Good day!
