Wild camping when done in the right way has little or no effect on other people, or the environment
And when the morning comes the tent is gone,
Rather different than a boat
I think you've wasted far too many peoples time on this,
You are beginning to look like a Troll
I began my contributions to this topic by saying that:
"I was a little disappointed that the plan (to put 'houseboats' on Grasmere) doesn't appear to be going ahead." That's it - my thoughts, my feelings. I went on to say how I'd found there to be a lack of accommodation that we'd be interested in using in the Lake District for a walking holiday. I was careful to say
"desirable" in regard to accommodation because I didn't want to suggest a lack of cottages, only a lack of cottages that might appeal to us.
For expressing my genuine, but apparently unacceptable, view about boats on Grasmere it's previously been suggested that I'm selfish and ignorant, and now you suggest I might be a troll. This is a forum - a place for discussion and debate - and (like it or not) it should be possible for a member to hold and express a valid opinion, even if a group of members who share an opposing view do not agree.
I notice that as I've been writing this, another member has just called me a troll. No, I'm a walker who thought about spending a week or two walking in the Lake District next summer and for whom a houseboat on a lake sounded an interesting possibility, since my wife and I like unusual accommodation. As it turns out, the boats in question look far smaller than I'd imagined and wouldn't have suited us anyway.
