In the light of recent developments (the safety report on the lake
that undermined the bylaw, the Audit Commissions damning criticism of
the National Parks management etc), the Windermere Action Force are
trying to increase the pressure on the government and the National
Park Authority.

With that in mind, there is now an easy and free way to fax your MP
with a letter of your wording just by following the link below:

http://www.waf.uk.com/write.html

Be sure to include your name and address otherwise your MP will not
count it as valid.

It only takes as long as it takes you to type it and costs you
nothing. So no matter how frequently you use Windermere, please get
faxing and let the government know the strength of feeling out there...

Nick @ Norfolk?
- why should we campaign for speedboats to cut up one of our beautiful Lakes
for the likes of you?
Outsiders only visit this area with the aim of disrupting our sedate way of
life.

I, as a Cumbrian don't want the Lake district turning into a pseudo lane of
the M6.

I'm sure that there are plenty of watercourses near to Norfolk where you can
display your skills. So get stuffed.

Sean @ Cumbria.

If Windermere is anything like the Dutch De Kaag lakes, half a dozen
yobs in over powered boats ruin the pleasure of thousands of other
boaters.

In other parts of the Netherlands, areas are marked with buoys for
water skiers, who stick to these areas and upset nobody.

I wish speed boaters would do the same in France. Fortunately there
aren't many of them, but they're a nuisance when they're around - and
I'm in a 14 tonne steel craft.

I'm not from Norfolk you plonker. It's a joke email address - read it
quickly. If you still don't get it then let me know and I'll SPELL IT
OUT FOR YOU OK?

Well that's the problem Martin, there are NO other public lakes in the
whole of the country that allow speeds over 10mph. Windermere was
promised to be safe haven for us when a 10mph limit was imposed on the
other lakes but as we have seen on numerous occasions, this government
can't be trusted. And as the for National Park Authority, who the hell
elected them to speak on our behalf? No one!!

I think nobody too as a right not to be upset.

In which case it's the parents fault. Maybe the ban should be on vessels
-capable- of speeds over the limit in order to remove the temptation.

I've pointed out before that there's an immense area of sal****er around the
UK where, as long as you run a little offshore, you can speed all you like.

Whilst I agree this government cannot be trusted I don't think this is a
party issue.

This has been done to death before.

The argument cuts both ways. There are plenty of other places for those
who don't like to see or hear powerboats to go. There is, however,
nowhere else left in the entire country which offers powerboaters, and
particularly waterskiers, the same sort of conditions over the same area
of water.
