I've been considering getting a bunch of people together to *CAMP* on 
Kinder. Unfortunately work's taken every spare moment for the last two 
months and I haven't got around to doing anything. None of this namby-pamby 
walking... I want full legal equality with Scotland to 'reside' on the 
land!!

Camping wouldn't be a protest; it wouldn't be a demo. We'd just go an do it 
in the same way as if we were going for a walk. Likewise if a large number 
turned up we wouldn't camp together, but spread out around the area in 
small groups (impact is everything -- the sheep have already done enough 
damage up there!).

My idea was to backpack from Edale station and, depending on the weather, 
camp at either Kinder Downfall or Kinder Low -- and then walk back to 
Chinley station the next day (I did this years ago... makes a very nice 
weekend's walking).

Any other backpackers interested?
