Proud to be featured in @CPRE #Voice magazine with photos by @lhschiefer - talking about my campaigning career with @openspacessoc @RamblersGB @DartmoorDPA @Campaign4Parks which has been & continues to be hugely enjoyable & rewarding @CrispinTruman

A worrying development.

Remembering Rambler David Sharp, born #OTD 100 years ago. David was the 'father' of the Thames Path, leading surveys, relentlessly negotiating the route and writing guide books before it was approved in 1989. Read @CampaignerKate tribute 👇 campaignerkate.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/dav… #ramblers

📣 “Local authorities are strapped for cash, and there is the commercial abuse of open spaces for events. There really are a lot of threats to green spaces throughout England and Wales.” Did you hear @CampaignerKate on @BBCr4today? Catch up at 2h45: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… ⬇️

My new year message from the Open Spaces Society

I keep trying to attract the attention of ministers who enjoy walking, to get them to take action for access campaignerkate.wordpress.com/2025/12/28/wes… @RamblersGB @openspacessoc

Open Spaces Society forces new town green at Swaffham, @BBCNorfolk Norfolkhttps://www.edp24.co.uk/news/25720620.swaffham-get-new-town-green-185-home-development-deal/

@LeggeBourke @Glanusk I'm so sorry to hear this.

.⁦@Glanusk⁩ it is with profound sorrow that we announce the death of Dame Shân Legge-Bourke DCVO who died last night peacefully surrounded by her family. A remarkable lady whose lifetime of service to her country , nation and countless organisations she supported.

@Anna_Dillon Thank you, yes we heard about the exhibition. Sad about the access, that's the problem with permissive, it can disappear.

@CampaignerKate Glad you enjoyed the walk. The village hall had a WW2 exhibition on that day with teas & cakes. The valley with juniper is locally known as Juniper Valley. There used to be permissive access to Lowbury Hill which changed over the past few years. Something to do with insurance...

So relieved that Lord Banner's amendment threatening green spaces was not moved in House of Lords on Monday, thanks to all peers who opposed @openspacessoc @RamblersGB campaignerkate.wordpress.com/2025/11/06/gre…
