Odd Man
Thru Hiker
Big debate going on in Lake District. (Coincidentally, I'm here right now).
The head of the Lake District National Park Authority in Cumbria says the rugged landscape excludes too many people and must change to attract a more diverse mix of visitors.
Meanwhile an £8m project to create an accessible multi-user trail with a tarmac surface between Keswick and Thelkeld has been condemned by Keswick Town Council.
The author, writer Julian Glover, described them as an "exclusive, mainly white, mainly middle‐class club, with rules only members understand and much too little done to encourage first time visitors".
