Just read that link, thanks TSC ... guess everyone is a bit preoccupied with the weather/xmas etc at present but perhaps we can all start afresh in the new year. Small 'unsung' things help as well - the Ramblers Association for example continue to campaign to protect Rights of Way and the 'walking environment'. The Conservatives manifesto, part of which was re-printed in Riverman's post, just highlights their self-serving hypocrisy. Cameron is pictured in the lastest edition of the Woodland Trust's magazine saying the same (misleading) words.
