John Davidson, author and journalist, shares his love of the great outdoors from Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland
After witnessing trail bikers on the summit of Ben Wyvis recently, there is a Ross-shire Journal story today about quad bikers on the ridge too.
This is a protected environment where motorised vehicles are prohibited because they damage the fragile mosses and other plant life.
If you see people breaking the law in this way, please report it to police as it takes years for the land to recover from such damage.
It’s not a paper I normally read (he adds quickly!) but I was directed to this article in the Telegraph about the British couple allowing their kids, aged 5 and 8, to cycle 1 mile to school on their own.
It’s by London mayor Boris Johnson and, whatever you could say about his general politics, I think he’s hit the mark with this one!
