POINTS FROM THE POST
No great surprise that club
President David Bellamy's robust views (march issue)on 4x4's greenlaning activities has prompted you to let us know your opinions. Our President doesn't have many allies on this one....
Paul Robson wrote from County Durum to express his "disgust" with the column.
"Does Dr Bellamy not realise that the countryside must be diverse and open to all minority user groups in order for it to survive?"
Only four percent of the greenlane network in this country is open to vehicles. He is misleading members by suggesting that these vehicles use of it is a 'loophole'.It is NOT a loophole:they are roads.Unsurfaced,maybe,but they are still legal rights of way.
"Please try to keep the focus of the magazine on camping and caravanning-not on the political ranting of certain individuals."
Tim Arnold was also very upset. "David Bellamy maybe the club president,but that doesn't give him the right to attack the pastime of a large number of members or to use the club magazine to promote his own biased views." As a result of his rantings I will not be renewing my membership.
Dan Hardy from Cumbria was one of the several disabled people who were dismayed by what they read.
"I guess your magazine has failed to acknowledge the Disability Discrimination Act.My physical disability means that the only way i can get to see any of the area I live in,the Lake Distict,is thanks to a 4x4."
"As a fellow field biologist,I find it disconcerting that Dr Bellamy doesn't understand that the use of such legal rights if way by vehicles provides access to areas that are in need of repair or for the study of wildlife,"says Mr G Kershaw of East Yorkhire.
He goes on:"Yes a small number of off-roaders do cause some damage to these lanes but the majority of us treat them with great care,spending a lot of time in their upkeep. I've travelled miles in Landrovers for the National Trust,repairing damage caused by walkers on well known footpaths in North Yorkshire-and I know that here,too,its only a few that actually cause the damage."
Mike Hallam from Oxford tells us:"I'd have expected a president of the camping and caravan club to present a balanced point of view and to have avoided using emotive words."
"It would be great to have a president with a 'can do,and this is how it's done' approach,rather than a spoilsport who rides roughshod over members.There's room for eveyone in our countryside."
Last word to Iain Hargreaves from Blackburn,Lancashire."Dr Bellamy has a right to his opinion,as does everyone in a democracy.However,I feel that he has abused his position by printing these divisive comments."
