Great Chalk Way 6 Ridgeway Partnership News 6 A Ridgeway Epic 9 As everyone does at this time of year, the Trustees have also been thinking about our Facebook conversation 12 New Year’s resolutions and goals for the Friends of the Ridgeway and, of course, the trail itself. Musing on change with regard to our beloved Ridgeway leads to not entirely happy thoughts amongst the exciting possibilities”. But of course, the year turned out to be very different from that envisaged. The COVID-19 pandemic happened. And issues facing the trail changed – visits to the countryside increased with significant increases in visitors to the ridgeway. Much of this was to be welcomed, given the many health and wellbeing benefits provided to people through outdoor exercise and contact with nature. This increased number of visitors emphasised the importance of the trail to those who live along its route; it is a vital resource which we must protect for future generations and the inevitable issues they will face. There were, however, a number of incidences have occurred of undesirable actions and activities taking place, including damage to property and the environment.

Without Shirley’s infectious enthusiasm this project would not have happened. Shirley gave unstintingly of her time and energy to protect the area she loved from HS2, but she also knew the importance of assembling robust evidence, using recognised research methods and arming oneself with the relevant facts and figures to fight a cause. Drive and determination had to matched by the evidence. Shirley wanted a proper baseline study on the value of tourism threatened by HS2. At her specific request we raised the money and commissioned Tourism South East, a specialist tourist organisation with a research arm, to undertake the study. The Chilterns Conservation Board, where Shirley had been a dedicated board member for 10 years, kindly agreed to manage the project. Shirley’s wish was to petition to the Select Committee. Through this report she will.
