Then opening it up to public access.

Actually there are public rights of way all across this land.

The actual site itself is crossed by one footpath only and this is footpath 77 i believe which in accordance with policy will remain completely unaffected and undisturbed

Re: Volunteer Rangers

How will it be unaffected and unchanged if you plan to fence off the land?

You did actually originally claim to be a registered charity. Now you are saying that you are too small to be registered.

Is it any wonder we are confused?

And we arent fencing off the land just the areas that vehicles are accessing the site by.

Re: Volunteer Rangers

I think I'll print copies of this thread off and distribute them in the Slaidburn, Newton, Tosside, Holden areas and ask the local residents for references/opinions of the King-Wilkinson estate, see if they can throw any light on Chelmswood.

Re: Volunteer Rangers

I wish someone could shed light on it. It's all becoming very confusing and complicated.

These stories actually concerned the Kings Highway at the Huncoat end and is nothing to do with Hameldon Hill. Perhaps you would care to clarify you statement?

nothing wrong with that statement, its just that no buggar knows thats actually the case though. this guy is giving the vaugest of information, there is nothing concrete that can be verified, and you are jumping in on just what MAY be the case.:confused: it sure beats me,but good luck.
