Tracks are for people, not motors

Our fells are a haven of tranquillity. The LAKE DISTRICT GREEN LANES ALLIANCE works to protect fell and forest tracks from 🚘🚘🚘 and 🏍🏍🏍

Adventure motorists are destroying some of the wildest and most beautiful tracks in the #LakeDistrict, with terrible consequences for nature and people. UNESCO says this must stop. Please make your views clear to the

Advertising a new model in the Lake District. Not the right place, Wrangler. Tranquillity is what the Lakes are for, not motorised adventure.

Tyre and brake degradation have a huge environmental impact. And on Lake District fell tracks SUVs are OK? @lakedistrictnpa @FriendsofLakes

[Tracks are for people, not motors @ourlakes]

How exactly does this work @lakedistrictnpa? You ban signs, but 4x4s and motorbikes on fell tracks are just fine with you?

[Tracks are for people, not motors @ourlakes]

Agreed. Let’s not spoil it - just for fun. Keep 🏍️🚗🏍️🚗🚗 off green lanes in the #lakedistrict.

Volunteers needed! March 26... we're heading back to Alpacaly Ever After at Basecamp North to plant more hedges - and meet some very friendly alpacas! We had a brilliant time there in the autumn!

How our noisy world is seriously damaging our health

So let’s keep our fell tracks free from motorised intrusion.

You can do it ⁦@lakedistrictnpa⁩ !!

#wildfells and #tranquillity - that’s why we have a National Park. https://t.co/Mk75SC10Tv

How would you describe the aura of the #lakedistrict? Its essence, the things that have made it a World Heritage Site and a National Park, cherished by millions?

Two options, mutually exclusive: tranquillity or off-roading ⬇️

[Tracks are for people, not motors @ourlakes]

A great victory indeed. How about doing the same for the fells: protecting them against intrusive and destructive off-roading?

Save our #wilfdfells!

This is a fantastic victory for the long running campaign to clean up our beautiful Windermere.

Liberal Democrats will continue to hold ministers feet to the fire to make sure they honour their promise to protect Windermere.

[Tracks are for people, not motors @ourlakes]

Very good news!

And now for our fells: they too deserve to be protected - against intrusive, intimidating and destructive off-roading.

#wildfells now!

Here's hoping something will change after environment secretary, Steve Reed, declares that: "Windermere... being choked by unacceptable levels of sewage pollution.” https://t.co/kcucPspUEH

@MattStaniek @Feargal_Sharkey @ChrisGPackham @WindrushWasp @sascampaigns @GreenJennyJones @HugoSAS @SteveReedMP @joelycett @timfarron Matt: you did well!

[Tracks are for people, not motors @ourlakes]

This is excellent news!

And now for the fells: cavorting around in 4WDs and on motorbikes is as wrong as discharging sewage into Windermere.

Please put an end to intrusive and destructive off-roading on our fellow tracks.

For millions this is their happy place.

Don’t spoil it with 🏍️🏍️🏍️🚘🚘🚘

Mastering the Mountains? Definitely a good thing. Bot not like this.

Did you know there is no dedicated team or person in @DefraGovUK for grasslands, despite them covering 40% of England? We're joining @Love_plants & partners in calling for the Gov to establish a Grassland Taskforce to unlock their value🌱

Behold, @lakedistrictnpa.

Protect us from 🚘🚘🚘🏍️🏍️🏍️ on our fell tracks.

Gen Z discovers what these boots are made for. And what these tracks are *NOT* made for.

Unfortunately it’s also a destination for off-roaders from all over Europe. Some tracks, like at Tilberthwaite, are part of a European network for off-road motorbikes. Please explore what this does to the landscape! On NT land! @nationaltrust

If you don’t like off-roading in the Langdales - Great or Little - write to Lakes Parish Council at [email protected]

Next week Wednesday 22nd is the deadline.

Green lanes are ancient tracks, mainly used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders as well as farmers. But many can also be used by 4x4s and motocross bikes. Lakes Parish Council is doing a consultation on green lanes and now's your chance to have your say...
