Caves on the otherhand tend to be made from Rock which is much harder than grass ...
Yep in places but often not as most are stream-washed.
Jenny, despite linking to that document, I'm cautious about it and may not have described it originally correctly. N.E. have replied to me to say that:"Therefore it is fair to say that the consultant [who wrote it] didn’t express solely their opinion or that of DEFRA or Natural England."

Out of interest, what evidence is there for this comment? (Just genuinely interested whether some robust statistics support it, as it'd be useful to know about in future. Or does it depend to a large extent on what one considers to be a "misfit" stream?)
Another issue to add to the mix regarding access and CROW:Kate Ashbrook warns Kinder meeting of plans for new criminal trespass law.
If this topic were presented to the Victorians they'd probably comment to the effect of....."Yeah right mate.....you go and have another puff on your opium pipe and we'll see you in wonderland for a cup of tea.." If it wern't for the intrepid rambling feats of this era then no one would be rambling in the first place,Ordnance Survey wouldn't be on the map, and there would still be local argument as to whether or not it is a hill or a mountain,Geologists would be wandering around "..er I think this rock's different.."..."maybe god created this one on the fourth day.." Get the drift. What the government should be doing is subsidizing the farmer to encourage the use of land passage,'cos however you look at it criminalizing people for a pastime just aint on. Bear in mind that the "outdoor persuit" industry is HUGE and the knock on effect of zero sales would be of massive detriment to the "economy" to say nothing of the impact it would have on the local economies for (obviously) rural areas. Guidelines could be in place ensuring safe passage - from both sides. If not for the intrepid explorer,inquisitor,or like myself.....just plain curious then we'd still think the Sun revolved around the Earth and CROW is a black feathered bird....that goes where it pleases.If I comes down from London....ask them about the Wombles
It should be posted on the BCA website shortly.
