jumpstart Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Not quite sure what racist has to do with it. The point of the article is inclusively. You can’t make black people “want” to go to the Lake District any more than poor or disabled. Not everyone wants to go walking hills and mountains, you can’t make all areas of mountains wheelchair accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pelmetman Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 "too heavily weighted towards older, able-bodied white people." That's us Motorhomers then? :-S ......... No doubt we'll all be forced to take diversity lessons soon 8-) .......... I reckon there's a bloke on here that's had them ;-) ..........as he wears tights and women shoes :D .......

malc d Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 On second thoughts - I reckon the lake District is a bit " ageist " It's far too mountainous and should be flattened out a bit so that older people can still enjoy it. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
