Tel: 01439 772700 Appendix 1 North York Moors National Park Authority National Park Authority 20 March 2017 Large-Scale Recreation Events 2016 1. Purpose of the Report 1.1 To inform Members of the level of large-scale recreation events in the National Park. 2. Background 2.1 The Head of Recreation and Park Management, acting under the terms of an agreement with Natural England monitors the level of large-scale recreation events that could have an adverse impact on the fabric of the National Park and its communities and visitors. Organisers are offered guidance to reduce potential conflicts and are usually very receptive to requests to modify their plans. They are sometimes required to seek formal consent from Natural England for activities that are potentially damaging to an SSSI and a working arrangement is usually agreed that negates this risk. 3. 2016 Report 3.1 A comprehensive list of large-scale recreation events in the National Park in 2016 appears at the Appendix. 3.2 The popularity of trail running events continues, with established races at capacity and organisers holding lists of reserve entrants waiting to take up any places which become available 3.3 New for 2016 were some Gravel Bike events – essentially long distance sportives using mainly stone tracks. Many were public bridleways, but organisers were able to obtain permission to use private forest and moorland tracks to make up the desired distance. 3.4 2016 also saw the return of the Boltby Bash – a mountain bike sportive and race which used 5 sections on private land for the electronically timed race sections, then long sections of bridleway for the untimed ride to the next competitive stage. 3.5 At the request of a moorland estate a planned September mountain bike orienteering event was moved from Saturday to Sunday to avoid conflict with a shoot. 3.6 The road cycling Tour de Yorkshire came through the National Park on a Sunday in April, bringing large numbers of visitors and a good turn-out at our Sutton Bank Centre in particular. The 2017 race visits on a Friday with a shorter route through the Park. It misses our Centres, but there National Park staff and volunteers will be out at Saltersgate and Sledgates to “fly the flag” and cheer the riders on 4. Financial and Staffing Implications 4.1 No change. 5. Contribution to National Park Management Plan 5.1 Events protocols were used to minimise conflicts between Recreational activities and: • (U5) the interests of communities, land managers and other user groups • (U6) conservation of the special qualities of the National Park 6. Legal Implications 6.1 None 7. Recommendation 7.1 That Members note and comment on the report.

  • Multiple Sorting for Landscapes
    Journal of Environmental Psychology (1997) 17, 263±281 0272-4944/97/040263+19$25´00/0 1997 Academic Press Limited ENVIRONMENTAL Journal of PSYCHOLOGY PICTURE OR PLACE? A MULTIPLE SORTING STUDY OF LANDSCAPE M. J. SCOTT AND D. V. CANTER Department of Psychology, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, L69 3BX, U.K. Abstract Previous research has often used photographs as a tool for examining preference for landscape and in clarify- ing an understanding of what is aesthetically pleasing. Implicit in their use is the assumption that they will be regarded by the participants as representing the places shown. The present study demonstrates that there is a theoretical and empirical distinction between evaluations of pictures and evaluations of the places they represent, and thus future research needs to distinguish between evaluating the content of the photograph and the places represented in them. Using a sorting task, 41 participants sorted 20 photographs of local places, which they knew, in a free sort and a directed sort. The directed short instructed the participants to think about the places in the photo- graphs, and to sort the items according to their knowledge of those place. Analysis of the first sort showed that items were grouped according to the content of the photograph, focusing on land form and the presence of water. The second sort showed that the items were grouped according to memories and sense experiences other than just the visual information presented in the photographs. The results showed that the participants conceptualise photographs differently according to whether they are asked to evaluate the photograph or the place represented by the photograph.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Wainstones Walk
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Wainstones Walk Starting point and OS Grid reference Forestry Commission Car Park at Clay Bank (NZ 573036) Ordnance Survey map OL 26 – North York Moors – Western area Distance 8.6 miles Date of Walk 5 August 2015 Traffic light rating Introduction: This Wainstones Walk takes you along a northern escarpment of the North York Moors, known as Hasty Bank, from where there are superb views over the surrounding plain with its patchwork of fields, towards Middlesborough and Roseberry Topping and over Bilsdale and Raisdale. Depending on the time of year, you may be rewarded by vistas of purple heather. The Wainstones are a prominent, dramatic outcrop of sandstone, at the western end of Hasty Bank and the largest such crag on these moors. They are popular with climbers. According to legend, a Danish chieftain was killed there. After walking along the ridge of Cold Moor, the route drops down to the hamlet of Seave Green before climbing to the trig. point on Urra Moor, the highest point in the North York Moors at 1490ft (454 metres). On the way, you pass through Billy's Dyke, an ancient earthwork some 3 miles long, which is marked on the OS map. Unlike many such features, this one is clearly visible. It is believed to date back to the Bronze Age. This walk is easy to navigate in the main as it follows well walked paths and tracks. However, the start involves a steep climb to the top of Hasty Bank, for which it earns a marginal red traffic light.

    Item 19 North York Moors National Park Authority National Park Authority 21 March 2016 Large-Scale Recreation Events 2015 1. Purpose of the Report 1.1 To inform Members of the level of large-scale recreation events in the National Park. 2. Background 2.1 The Head of Recreation and Park Management, acting under the terms of an agreement with Natural England monitors the level of large-scale recreation events that could have an adverse impact on the fabric of the National Park and its communities and visitors. Organisers are offered guidance to reduce potential conflicts and are usually very receptive to requests to modify their plans. They are sometimes required to seek formal consent from Natural England for activities that are potentially damaging to an SSSI and a working arrangement is usually agreed that negates this risk. 3. 2015 Report 3.1 A comprehensive list of large-scale recreation events in the National Park in 2015 appears at the Appendix. 3.2 A mainly off-road cycle-sportive “Moors and Shores” had 328 riders on the Cinder Track from Stainsacre to Burniston in April. Not a race, but a timed event, this generated complaints regarding the perceived excessive speed of riders on this popular route conflicting with other users, despite advance warning notices having been posted and instructions to ride responsibly. The organisers are keen to run the same route again this year and have promised to increase Cinder Track marshalling to address this issue. 3.3 Trail and ultra-races (runs over 26 miles long) have again seen an increase in popularity, with more events and more runners taking part, but to reduce potential conflicts, entry numbers on the Hardmoors events are now restricted.
