It is unfortunate that the OP has not provided the location of this problem. Often on this forum, such issues are raised, yet the actual location is not forthcoming.
Yep a few mass walks would be the way to sort this out.
I think that there are too few around that truly recognize this problem and it's inherent cause. Nor have the Ramblers or the other allied pressure groups fully thought out a modern approach to the idea of a mass trespass or standing in the middle of a field waving placards.
Taking into account the following;
Firstly; Landowners are a minority group, albeit wealthy and powerful.
Secondly; They are ideologically split between the landowner with property interests and the farmer, who is the producer of our food.
Thirdly; Both interests are vulnerable, yet no one thinks to identify the services or products that are associated with the separate interests.
Fourthly: the two groups are represented by totally separate Lobby groups, both with very distinct awareness of public relations.
Fifthly; All groups, who derive their leisure from the access network are the customers that keep an enormous wealth creating dynamo turning generating.
Are the tools of the 21st century being used to extend the ideals of those, who thought up and organised the Kinder Mass Trespass, then the objective was very identifiable, today's targets not so obvious.
Prior to Scotland's Land Reform Act there was some very effective protests engineered, these used the internet, then very much in it's infancy. At the time I was only just starting to understand the use of a computer, so only caught onto a hint of what was going on. The actual methods used may have passed their 'sell by date', but I wonder if the examples could serve to fuel new ideas.
On a person level I will not buy products of
the Rhyg Estate because of Lord Newborough's example in sharing the countryside, despite the efforts his PR goes to be ""organic and all this tweely conservation"".
Sadly on my own I probably have not made a dent on his largesse, nor do I believe that I have discovered all his land holdings. Only two and both want to make me spit. Just one of many more examples.
Probably rambled on far enough for today..........other things to do
