We’re being persecuted, say Lake District off-road drivers (From The Westmorland Gazette)

Alan Kidd, senior editor of the Off Road Yearbook, said: “Off-road drivers feel enormously and unfairly persecuted, that there’s a campaign of vilification against us by other user groups, particularly some of the more militant walking groups who try to paint a very unfair picture of the damage that 4x4 drivers cause.
Not sure Windermere Hotels users will be so pleased at a loss of yet another outdoor activity!
