Dear All,
I have been periodically been looking at this progressive feud. I am a resident of Birchover. Now retired I walk my dog on the moor every second day thereabouts anyway. It is a beautiful place especially now spring has eventually arrived. I have lived locally for over twenty years and regularly walked across the moor to stanton to visit a friend.
In my time here things have never really changed so much with the attidude towards camping by the stone circle. From my understanding it has been like this since the sixties.
I have noticed over the past 10 years that the moor is much cleaner than I have ever known. There are less campers by the stone circle and it looks far nicer than I have ever seen it. The campers that I have spoken to have been polite and tidy. I have noticed that in and among the old quarries there have been more campers or evidence of them being there. Again, on the whole very nice people and with a genuine interest in the wildlife. There are some that I have seen many times in all weathers. I have seen some in the Red Lion who are regular faces and again very nice people. I have met many of the people from the tree top houses who are again very nice. They have done a brilliant job in my opinion and that of all the people I have spoken with.
I am sorry that there has been damage to property. That should never happen.
I reckon that the moor is better now than I have ever seen it. There are worse things that could be going on up on the moor. I think that you should calm down and stop being so argumentative. You are likely to blow things out of all proportion if you carry on like you are. The campers I have met as I say all are very nice and tidy. They wont stop camping up there so a good idea is to encourage resonsible behavior.
I have seen more rubbish in chatsworth than on the moor. It is not as bad as you reckon. Better than i have seen over the years gone by. If you dont mind me asking how long have you lived in the area.
I would rather not let people know my name. I hope you understand why. I will not be making a habit of writing on here I just like to look at web sites of the area and enjoy reading what is written. I have not enjoyed what I have read over the last week or two though. I hope you resolve your feud. All the best.
