This is from The Independent, but there is something about it in several newspapers.



4 hours ago - Efforts to make the Lake District more inclusive have reportedly sparked a backlash among conservationists. Sky News states that Lake District National Park Authority is due to face a High Court judicial review in 2020 with regards to its refusal to ban 4x4 vehicles and motorbikes from some fell trails.

:-( :-P

We go every year numerous times, adore the place, so many beautiful surroundings, always find something new and have always made so many special memories...

Having been travelling home from the beautiful Lake District I have not see this. Please tell me who has said what?

Nothing Caroline
Good evening BTW.
People won't be happy until everything is disneyfied :-0 :-0 :-0 ;-)

How patronising can he get!

They tried to create more 'diversity' amongst visitors to the New Forest a few years ago.
We ended up with hordes of cyclists - not individuals coming to enjoy the place - but hundreds using it as a cycling track, at 'Sportives' :-|

As you say, Caroline, what's stopping anyone enjoying it?

I totally get that all should feel welcome but with the Lake District other than it's miles from anywhere so getting there isn't the easiest...what's stopping anyone enjoying it.

It’s such a shame when natural environment is taken over

When we were in cape Verdi daughter did a trip to see the turtles come up on a beach and lay their eggs and return to the sea

The local turtle conservation would collect the eggs and take them to hatching and tag then and when ready would return them to the sea

The mum would always return to the same beach to lay her eggs

Pave paradise, put up a parking lot....

So it seems it may not be inclusive enough and needs to change!!

What next flatten Mount Everest so all can "scale" it

Calm the oceans so all can sail on them...
