get involved: access, environment, BMC / Re: Spad climbing
« Last post by Jerry Morefat on Yesterday at 11:21:41 pm »I guess if that's what the landowner wants, then their decision needs to be respected. However, I don't get the obfuscation in this thread. Presumably the landowner has already objected, so stumbling upon this thread (which I assume is the motivation for the obfuscation) isn't going to make a difference?
Interestingly the RAD doesn't necessarily rule out the placement of new fixed gear
The BMC has an agreement with the National Trust for fixed equipment in the dale. Put simply this is that like for like maintenance/replacement can take place as and when is needed but placement of new bolts would require agreement through the Peak Area meeting followed by approaching the National Trust for permission. There isn't a presumption of refusal by any means, but the National Trust understandably want to keep track of bolting activity in the Dale and in some cases they may need to apply for SSSI consent as landowner. The National Trust are extremely supportive of climbing in all it's forms in the Dale and it's important that we continue to cultivate our good relationship with them to ensure our needs as climbers are considered into the future.
