The whole Windermere ban makes me feel sick. It is crazy, as per usual the whole world embrases and nutures up and coming sports and the uk government and it's little band of 'interest groups' (friends of the lake district have a lot to answer for, and most don't even live here) does it's damnest to make sure we live in a culture of fat kids sitting in front of the playstation with nowt better to do. Then every four years there's an uproar when we only come away from the olympics with a couple of drugs charges and bronze in brew making. it makes me so mad.
The government not only fail to provide adequate sport facilites around
the country they seem to actively discourage it and there is no finer example of that than here on Windermere.
As for a cycle path that totally stinks. For the last 10 years the national parks authority have criminalised cylists by closing all the decent bridleways and replacing them with footpaths which are illegal for use by cyclists. I know i used to cycle every weekend up here in the lakes. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.................... :evil:
