  2. The proposal sounds daft! I wonder if King Charles might intervene as it’s HIS named coast path?

    I’d love to join the meeting; I will check the IoW Ramblers website & see if they’re wanting signatures for a petition.

  4. The EH website says that their main concern is security, but surely they must have security systems in place. A lot of museums and galleries are in city centres, with people walking past them all the time.

    1. They do and I think it’s nonsense. I doubt many burglars need a right of way before they burgle anywhere. Someone said to me that EH staff don;t want to lose their exclusive access to the beach – whether or not that’s true I don’t know.
