When was the last time you got your leg over?

Question

When was the last time you climbed over a stile? Stiles come in all shapes and sizes but the principle is the same, they let smart humans climb over walls and fences while keeping dumb animals contained. In my experience watching people tackle stiles the two groups are blurred.

So when was the last time you swung your leg over a stile?

Aug. 2012, Meg the Welsh collie, my constant companion while in the UK, and I would on most days walk down Ipswich Rd. to Combs Ford, past the chip shop, and on to the church meadow. There were sheep pens there with no sheep, so we would go inside one with a pile of rubble in it, I 'd sit on the rubble and roll a cig with licorice paper, a menthol filter, and Cutter's Choice tobacco while Meg crouched in the tall grass playing spot the dog (her massive ears would give her away) after which the tennis balls would come out. I do miss Miss Meg.

Probably a month ago or so, I’m not a fan of having to traverse the mud pits caused by the rain, or dog owners that don’t pick up after their pets (trails covered in droppings).
Did enjoy the adventure when younger of climbing over stiles and trees, I think people were far more considerate and disciplined back then.

As to the euphemism, earlier this week or weekend depending what counts as getting a leg over, otherwise anytime in the last couple of weeks depending on what meets the bar.

I love your cheeky questions Poppy.

I helped my friends, victims of the Southern California wildfires, recover possessions and clean up debris numerous times in the past few months.

Until they were torn down, we all had to repeatedly climb over the remainder of the perimeter fences that fully burned yet remained standing.

I two leg side swing jump. To catch the animals that aren't dumb enough to be contained by them. And recently.

That must be around 40 - 45 years ago, in the '80s, during a walk in the countryside somewhere in the south-east of France near the Cevennes. There was an official small country path that had been taken over by a neighbouring owner of a grazing area who didn't want people to walk past. Obviously he had been forced to build a (not very confortable) stile. My wife and I did got our legs over without problems, to face then some gentle cows looking at us with curiosity ;0)

Not very far from Brussels I've seen a very few of those stiles, but had then not to get over them. All, that one in France included, were similar that the one in the first picture.

I thought you were talking about one of these. When I was younger I could hop over these things pretty easily. I would probably fall on my face today.

There’s a similar issue in the US. I don’t remember the exact quote. However, an engineer said that the primary problem they encounter with designing bear-proof food containers and waste receptacles is the remarkable overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest people.
This was a serious quote in a serious article about a serious issue. And i laughed for minutes upon reading it. I still laugh whenever i remember it.

Not seen one of those in years. Though I do have to get my leg over my gear lever when I park my car in the very narrow garage I have, though I have to use my hand to get it up at my age I'm not as flexible some times.

Don't really have those in my home country New Zealand, but I do remember them when I worked/lived in the UK for a few years. Never got to get a leg over on them though !

The only time I ever encountered one was while hiking in Ireland with my wife. I think that was in 2006. And yes, we swung our legs over with no problem.

I took my young son to Pinnacle mountain in Little Rock Arkansas and we walked up the South side.
Once my son saw we were higher than election lines he got scared. I told him we will only go as far as the summit. He learned that day where is the summit.
Once we got through big bolders covered in ice we saw a trail that walks up and down the mountain. So we went down the trail. We get to the bottom and now we are Mike's from tge car.

Not a thing in the US. I've never seen one. I've always just hopped the fence without a stile. Much faster.
