Nerc Challenge - Lake District Protest

<< < (2/4) > >>

dew1911:
Well if we do one up the lakes I'm sure I would try my hardest to get there, but the Lakes seems to be an area not well represented on M-C so I'm not sure how far we'd get.

Tyke:
The West Yorkshire lads and lasses may be up that way in the not too distant future.

Maybe we could add to the numbers if dates coincide . . . . . if we ain't driving whats left of the lanes at the time that is.



Always up for a bit of fun and games are our lot  :wink:



Problem is with staging a protest is that I reckon we're stuck with what we've got. It's a bit late to protest now when the damage is already done. If we could find a way to reverse the situation that would be far better, but somehow I really do think that is not likely to happen  :cry:

there's a few of us in thre north west
dont forget the northern bog hoppers
i think we could muster a car park full


while we are there we could have a quick ramble as well  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Whilst I agree with the idea of direct action, I am not convinced that a car park blockage would be the best idea.

when the bobblies roll up, they will see a full car park and move on. Nobody will hear our greivance. They may well just move on, or at best for our cause park closeby on the road casuing an obstruction.

Perhaps a better idea would be a greater number of 4 vehicle convoys travelling around the entire national park at lane speeds ie <10 mph. This would show the entire district that we are there and annoyed at the recent legislation and gain us a much higher profile.

Somebdy local shold prepare a press release and invite members of the press. Also Ideally support and spokespersons should be sought from "recognised" groups such as AWDC, GLASS etc.

As for timing, although a previous cumbria resident I am now in London and as such could not realistically do anyhting at short notice except maybe the aug bank holiday w/e.

The important thing is that any such event is professionally organised and all participants act responisbly, even to the extent that it may be necessary to confront non-event members acting in a way that would show all off-roaders in a bad light.

spy:
A go slow lakes tour on a bank holiday weekend would cause chaos. :D  Sure to make a point.  We cant drive sensibly on our lanes anymore so we're taking our gentle scenic tours to the tarmac!?  

With a bit of notice and for the right, well organised protest (if I could be conviced there was any point), I would be there!
