It's 75 years since our National Parks and National Landscapes were created.

Today we announce new laws to boost their protections and increase access to the great outdoors.

[National Parks England @natparksengland]

Created alongside the NHS, National Parks were envisioned as a “people’s charter for the open air."

On their 75th anniversary, England’s National Parks are calling on government to back our plan to become beacons for a sustainable future. Read more 👉 https://t.co/MwWhPv0YXC

@MsYellowHat I bet she doesn’t say lounge.

[Alison @ali_bax]

@sarahvanpelt Haha same!

[Alison @ali_bax]

@kateStrasdin @mfaboston Fully here for a Margot exhibition!

@PaolaOeste @sarahvanpelt Apologies for butting in but I love saying hinny! I’m not an actual geordie, I sort of adopted it when I starting working in the city centre!

[Alison @ali_bax]

@sarahvanpelt I’ve had a big dinner and hot bath, I’m all set!

[Alison @ali_bax]

Well I definitely did the great north run - I’ve got a medal and everything - but I’ve not been given a result so no idea what my time was (v slow, that’s for sure!)! #GNR24

[Alison @ali_bax]

@sarahvanpelt Feel like I’ve got trenchfoot from the soggy trainers! It was hard this year but got round!

[Alison @ali_bax]

@Great_Run hi, I’ve just finished the great north run but no one was able to track me and I don’t have a finish time?

[Alison @ali_bax]

@sarahvanpelt Next level organisational skills

[Alison @ali_bax]

@MsYellowHat There must be a better way! Plus the amount of people reselling on here!

[Alison @ali_bax]

@MsYellowHat 5 hours in queue, selected seats, wouldn’t let me check out, booted me to back of queue.

[Alison @ali_bax]

My partner has just said ‘why can’t we go back to queuing outside the shop for a ticket like back in the day?’ To be fair, sat in a queue just to open the ticketmaster site does feel a bit like that. #Oasis25

@LizLongstonePR I’m not at all surprised!

[Alison @ali_bax]

I did not know this was a thing @LizLongstonePR @GeorgeCaulkin

[Alison @ali_bax]

@Danny_McMoomins Yep, one time in Orlando we couldn’t get the sat nav working in the hire car and I got us to our hotel from memory by doing this beforehand!

[Alison @ali_bax]

@Plum_of_Duff Ah really sorry to hear this, cancer is such a load of bollocks. Hope your doing ok under the circs

@sebschmoller @HCFEprincipal @bphillipsonMP Have never understood why the FE sector has been neglected over so many years - how will we ever fill our skills gaps if it continues? Colleges are the engine for societal change, serving young people from complex backgrounds and giving them purpose, we need this more than ever!
