Glen Lyon Campaign

Many of you will know that the ‘owner’ of much of Glen Lyon is attempting to close the area off for much of the year. The Ramblers are organising a campaign to raise awareness of this and have it squashed. Today Glen Lyon, tomorrow the whole of Public Access in Scotland - this is just one of a many actions by landowners to row back on hard fought for rights and return us to English norms.

#Ramblers petition to allow #access to the #Chesthill Estate hills.
Chesthill has been a festering sore for access for decades. But they are now attempting to close all access through the winter contrary to Scottish Access rights.
A signature to the petition would help show the strength of feeling about this issue. Thanks! https://action.ramblers.org.uk/end-blockade-glen-lyon%E2%80%99s-hills

Campaign for walkers’ access in Glen Lyon

'Walkers are being asked to unite to challenge attempts to close Glen Lyon hills this autumn. Ramblers Scotland has today launched a petition to challenge the Perthshire North Chesthill Estate's two-month ban on walkers accessing four popular Munros in Glen Lyon.'

Latest #Ramblers magazine has an item on the number of stiles on #PublicRightsOfWay in England and Wales. They used #FreedomofInformation requests, presumably from each Highway Authority, for the data. Grand total comes to around 140,000, or around 1 per mile of PRoW.

#OpenStreetMap has just over 82,000 as of today (#OverpassTurbo query: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2cFH). Not all of these will be on public rights of way, but between 50 and 60% of the total isn't bad. (Wales only represents ~5-6%).

Another Bridgend Ramblers walking making use of Pencoed Footpath 5 running from Hendre, south of the M4 to Woodlands Fields. Access was a bit of a challenge with two stiles not making things easy for walkers. #Ramblers #Access #RightsOfWay #Footpaths #Hendre #Pencoed #Walking #Wales #Cymru

Fantastic to see all the hard work repairing Pencoed Footpath 29 so that it is more accessible come to fruition. The Bridgend Ramblers enjoyed there walk from Cefn Hirgoed Ridge down into Ystradwaun in Pencoed. #Ramblers #Cerdded #RightsOfWay #Wales #Pencoed #Cymru #Footpath #Ystradwaun #Bridgend #Penybont

Topped up the vitamin D with 18 others on a glorious Ramblers walk starting at Wenvoe and taking in Tinkinswood and St Lythans burial chambers. #Neolithic #Ramblers #Tinkinswood #StLythans #Wenvoe #ValeOfGlamorgan #Wales #Cymru

In England there is a law that says that if you don’t walk on country paths for a year, a farmer who owns that piece of land can close the path. Ramblers keep such paths open. They plan which paths they wish to cover every year, and they do so systematically. Usually, a local authority helps them by recording the paths and the ramblers’ walks and negotiating with farmers if any trouble should arise at any point.

Made the most of the fine weather in Abergavenny after a Ramblers Cymru meeting and went exploring. The town is almost entirely surrounded by mountains and hills; Blorenge Sugar Loaf & Skirrid Fawr among them. #BannauBrycheiniog #Ramblers #SaturdayFun #Monmouthshire #Abergavenny #Cymru #Wales #SirFynwy #Blorenge #SugarLoaf #SkiridFawr #BannauBrycheiniogNationalPark
