Don't know if this has already been mentioned.

There has been moves by the Peak District National Park to prohibit vehicular access and all traffic on the area known as Washgate nr Hollinsclough in the Peak District. This area is used by the following trials, Bemrose. Reliance Cup. Dave Rowland. Northern Experts trials.

The National park will allow the use of the Washgate area to continue for only these four events on a year by year basis unless they feel that too much damage both physically and environmentally is being done to the area.

If you feel that the sport as a whole is losing too much land to these environmentalists, you have until 25th November to Object in writing to there proposals.

Constructive letters of support for the continued access to Washgate for these events would I am sure be appreciated by the event organisers and all future entrants to the above trials.

I shall endeavour to find the address for your corespondance to be sent to and post Asap.

Regards
