web1 Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I think its a bit like cottaging. still no clearer...hedgehopping is exactly what it implies...running down a street of (usually private and enclosed) gardens and p@@@ing off as many people as possible. I once fell thru a garage roof whilst hegehopping and the guy was in there...chased me for 2 hours and eventually caught me...guess what. Guy made come back the next day and help fix the roof, then made me cut his grass and hedges for 2 weeks...good fun and a fair outcome all around methinks... Back to the original point....Backin and cottagin?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggsy Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 backin it - doing the hurdles over everyones back gardens at night, depends where you're from i suppose as to what you called it - hedging it or hedge hopping were other names for it, knock an run some people call knock a door run etc scrompin, scrumpin its all the same !!!!!!!!!!! We used to call it 'cat walking' but we went along the dividing walls between two roads (terraced houses) we had to climb over the outside Kharzies to get the whole way to the other end!! If someone opened a door it was like a searchlight going on, a bloke once saw us and threw the bin at us!!, we were like whippets in those days though and never got caught..It's strange how much faster you can run when you're being chased :hihi: Biggsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnvqsos Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Why don't kids do this any more? instead of hanging on street corners or outside shops getting drunk and terrorising old folk. These were me and my mates favourite pastimes, (after football) for out of school activities and to our knowledge we never hurt anyone or caused any damage to anything. Its because it requires a little more effort and imagination,and also we never had enough to buy drink.To many the spillov.er damage is a bonus today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tasha_78 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 "knock and run" sorry to be a what some people will call a killjoy, but its very very annoying when done over and over again several times the same evning, as happened to us a few years ago (till we found out who was doing it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddinburner Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 We were lucky to have three apple tree's in our garden, so my job was to climb them and scrump to my hearts content. We used to share between neighbours and make apple pies for the elderly folk. Happy day's! X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
