The blessing in that petition is a good proportion of the people that have signed it have commented that advertising the 500 without the infrastructure in place was the actual problem
Hope that if they do build walls they will be better than the one Trump had built to stop the hordes from the south invading.......some of it blew down.Perhaps this is what happens when you ******?
Sets a leading example to all those who want to entrench themselves in their locality and keep everybody else away.
Licence to build a few Berlin-type Walls maybe?
FWIW, I posted the maths to a shower of anti-4x4 cyclists over on a cycling forum many years ago. The pressure on the road (in psi) and hence the likelihood of damage, is given by the mass of vehicle and occupants (in pounds) divided by the total contact area (in square inches) between the tyres and the road. Although bicycles are very light, an average road bicycle has a miniscule contact area and so the pressure exerted on the road by a typical 'roadie' cyclist is considerably greater than that exerted by a full-sized 4x4! FWIW, as a rough approximation, the tyre pressure also gives a rough estimate of pressure on the road. So a typical 'roadie' (~100 to 120 psi) will exert more pressure on the road than any motorhome I know of, and even MTBs typically run with tyres inflated to over 50 psi...
Like these ones,me like .Well that's because, unfortunately, you live in an attractive part of the world.
I guess if Cornwall cut itself off from the world it would survive fine, then?
Maybe we can resurrect Hadrian's army for you and build a wall to keep the marauding foreign hordes out?
Then it would be just Cornish residents plus all those many holiday properties that would stand empty with no occupants contributing to the daily local economy.
Second homers. They can afford to dislike visitors because they don't need them to make money and can be as nimby as they like.
Land's End has charged an entry fee for donkey's years. Are you maybe talking 18th century?!
'Tis no worse than the hundred's of other touristy places around the UK that charge a fee for entry to their so-called 'attractions'.
Every vehicle has a footprint. Many larger vehicles have a large footprint to improve tyre life and traction A smaller vehicle can have a proportionally smaller footprint to improve fuel economy at the expense of putting more pressure on the road. Also more likely to sink in soft ground.
Just a small detail but you dont cross Hadrians Wall into ScotlandI suppose he, and they, would be a lot happier if we rebuilt Hadrian's Wall and prevented anyone in a motorised vehicle from crossing the border into Scotland at all.
its ALL in England, both sides.
Not really. Think tyre pressure. Unless the road is already in an 'unserviceable' state, the tyres deform to follow the variations in road surface and the pressure on the road is maintained (give or take a little). If the road surface is too bad for this then the damage is already done and it's the lack of maintenance by the highways authority that is to blame!I suppose where this falls down is on a road that is poorly maintained and the spread weight (contact area) is diminished hugely when on the edge of a pot hole for instance ....... I am not anti 4x4, only interested. So suspect the damage caused all depends on the state of the road to begin with
They can have Northumberland. Another place that doesn't like motorhomes.Just a small detail but you dont cross Hadrians Wall into Scotland

Alright then, let's make it the Antonine Wall instead
We'll banish any stray midges to the north of it as an additional perk and keep lovely Dumfries & Galloway and the Borders to ourselves
gotta love it when a plan comes together!!!!!!!

And another one, press articles are almost daily now, the councillor/media onslaught is relentless.
Highland councillor lodges petition calling for 'no wild camping' zones
A Sutherland councillor is pleading with the Scottish Government to consider "no wild camping" zones in sensitive areas of the Highlands. Kirsteen Currie,
