sorry if this isn't the right place to post this but i saw this outdoorsy/crafts festival and wondered if anyone had been before/if its worth checking out?
As promised, a full guide explaining the legal position of wild camping throughout the UK, compiled with the assistance of specialist lawyers.
I live in a town in the north of England and was surprised to read on my GPs website that we are apparently a rural community. It's a town of about 14,000 surrounded by villages, the A1 runs through our town and we have a train station connecting us to the capital of Scotland and London. We can get to 2 different cities in about 40 minutes on a train and 60 minutes by car, with plenty of other towns in between. I would have considered the Scottish highlands to be rural, not a northern English town. It feels like an excuse from the GP website, them saying 'sorry don't expect good care, we are too far away from any other civilisation'.
People are being very careless
Hi everyone,
I am running a short survey for my Dissertation research on public attitudes towards policies to manage traffic and visitor demand in the Lake District National Park.
I am particularly interested in hearing from people who visit, live in, work in, or regularly travel to the Lake District.
The study explores views on measures such as visitor levies, congestion charging, and how any revenue generated could be invested in transport and visitor services.
The survey takes approximately 5–10 minutes to complete and is open to anyone aged 18 or over.
Here's the survey link: https://qualtricsxm9l22q46xl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eWnkg1MNTcVzVmS
I would really appreciate your participation.
Many thanks,
Adel
Super rare mutation. Spotted today just before sunset, not far from Cheltenham.
Quick survey for farmers and landowners (2 minutes):
​
I’m researching how farmers currently handle metal detecting permissions, and whether a simple system could make it easier to manage safely and transparently.
​
This is **not a product launch** — just a short questionnaire to understand real opinions from farmers.
​
👉 **Survey link:** [https://forms.gle/M6orB1rBpYEuCrgq8\](https://forms.gle/M6orB1rBpYEuCrgq8)
​
The idea being tested is a free system that could help with things like:
​
* Choosing which fields (if any) are open
* Setting dates and visitor limits
* Only allowing verified detectorists
* Keeping a record of visits
* Logging finds (optional)
* Managing paid permissions if used
​
But the main focus right now is just understanding whether this is something farmers would actually want at all.
​
Even a “no, I wouldn’t use anything like this” answer is useful.
​
Thanks for your time.
Recently went for a wild camp in Dartmoor by myself - didn't have a great deal of time so this was a lightweight, fastpacking mission, this was my first time in this neck of the woods so wanted to check out the folklore, stone circles and other magic this ancient place had to offer
