Use of inland waters.....

If you use inland waters for your yakking you may find this link interesting. It is a research document done by Brighton University for DEFRA. I cannot find the date but they got the contract to compile it in 2001. So going by DEFRA it is probably their most recent information.

It is heavy going but there are a lot of interesting points. Now I am no academic but if i caught the drift right I think they were saying... more access should be given to the water and more people would be encouraged to use it for recreation who have not expressed an interest previously....

 

God what a lousy sentence. Basically I think it means we should be given more access to rivers and lakes and more people would then be encouraged to take up new watersports as they see access being available.

 

I think that is positive.

 

Well you give it a read and if you don't fall asleep I think you might agree.
