| Lord Clark and speakers |
Saturday saw Skye and I along with several hundred others outside the Visitor Centre in Whinlatter Forest celebrating the Governments about turn. Short speeches from Lord Clark of Windermere, Chris Bonnington, Leo Holding, both our local MPs and Friends of the Lake District reminded us that
we had pulled this off by expressing our strongly felt views and making a fuss. However we must remain vigilant; the government still has the right to sell off 15% of woodlands and this could include many of the smaller Cumbrian woods.

Glad the event went well, I had family here so was unable to attend but it looks like you all put your message across. It should be a lesson to all governments that the 'voice of the people' is not to be taken lightly, and the government U turn proves it.
