I did my bit today 👍 Regrettably, volunteers and myself encountered “fly camps” (think fly tipping) and litter around Derwentwater 💔😢 #lakedistrict #trashfreetrails EDUCATION matters folks and sadly so does enforcement. #countrysidecode and all that! 😊👍🫡🌳

Look at these utter ignorant fools! Fly camping above the Kirkstone Pass Inn 😮🤯 It’s been reported to @WandFCouncil but who knows if anyone will head out to educate and enforce Public Space Protection Orders within a UNESCO World Heritage Site? #lakedistrict #countrysidecode My fell running pal sent me these images infuriated asking where are the rangers. Fact is such inconsiderate and irresponsible behaviour needs reporting. Hopefully, they’ll be approached with care and education. It’s a helluva tent to carry up that steep part of the fell above the Kirkstone Pass Inn! I’m sure the guests staying in the boutique accommodation holiday let by the pub will appreciate such views. I wonder if it’ll be abandoned on the fellside tomorrow? How much litter is left behind? Maybe fire pits that harm the land? 🤔🤔

Are there aspects of the #CountrysideCode that could be updated? 🚶 To ensure that it's still relevant to #landmanagers and #countryside visitors alike, a new survey has been launched to shape the Countryside Code going forwards. Learn more here: cla.org.uk/news/play-your-pa…

Out around Ladybower and yet more stupid stone stacks to knock over. The work is never done. #leavenotrace #peakdistrict #thepeakdistrictviking #CountrysideCode

A Farmers Guardian social media poll has revealed that of the 854 people who responded, only 2.5% thought the general public had enough awareness of the countryside code. The Countryside Code Stakeholder Survey 2025 was launched by Natural England and Natural Resources Wales on August 6 and will run until September 12. The survey aims to find out how people have engaged with the code in the past, as well as its relevance for current and future rural visitors.

Anyone fancy popping round Wastwater a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) this evening and letting these fools know it’s illegal to be camping there, making fires and even driving on to the land? 👍🙏🙏😢💔 #lakedistrict #flycamping #overtourism #countrysidecode Unfortunately, I reside at the other side of the county and can’t help educate folk 😢
