In response to Take back the tracks rally 2011 - Friends of the Peak District
I believe that the damage caused to the countryside by ramblers boots needs to be stopped.
They wish to see our few remaining lanes open to legally drive closed to vehicles and open to them and them alone.
It would be good for these self centred ramblers to see how responsible users can use these lanes in harmony and therefore I think as many of us as possible should drive the Long Causeway on Saturday 9th July.
If we dont act we will lose our access to the countryside.
Some people are simply not capable of walking long distances, but in the view of the 'friends of the peak district' these people should not be allowed access to these areas by vehicle.
We need to keep the few remaining lanes that we have left open to vehicles and show these people that we are not all destroying the landscape, but are simply enjoying the countryside in our own way, just as they are.
We need as many people there as possible to show that we want the peak district authority to take notice that we would like our access to stay available.
I have never driven this lane, but am happy to organise the event if someone will be able to lead.
We can then end the drive in a local pub and have a chat.
So, what do you guys think? We cant just sit back and let them walk all over us...
