Ever lived or visited the Peak District National Park?

[Woody3]

Evening chaps,

If anyone who lives in or ever visits the Peak District has a spare five minutes would you mind filling in this survey?

My girlfriend is looking at land use/recreational conflict within the Peak District for her dissertation and it would be great to get the views of some offroaders to give balance to the hoards of walkers/horse riders etc.

Thank you very much!

Having to prioritise walkers, cyclists, horsey people and 4x4 drivers in numerical order might not win over too many punters.

Thanks Crossflow Kid - I will advise her of your comments.

Thanks again

Please note that the unsurfaced roads which are the subject of controversy (brought about by PDNP's bad management of the situation) are used by green laners and not "off roaders". This unfair bias towards one class of user has resulted in the back to tarmac protests recently held in the Peak District.

The motorised green laners (whether two or four wheeled) are quite happy to share these UNSURFACED ROADS with all classes of user, if pedestrians do not wish to see motorised vehicles that they have the right to roam in addition to access to the other 98% unsurfaced rights of way. The same is true for those cyclists and equestrians who wish to avoid vehicles - use the bridleways!

Why do so many users prefer the unsurfaced roads?

Because wheeled vehicles compact the surface and keep vegetation at bay making it easier for all classes of user to pass and repass.

This island is too small for the narrow-minded views promulgated by the rambler's association, the sooner we all learn to get along and share the countryside the better for all.

Spot on.

It's amazing how everyone loves the 4x4s that save their bacon when it's snowing like today...
