Ramblers - Present Campaigns

Present Campaigns

The Ramblers have just launched (2010) a campaign to monitor the level of funding cuts to highway authorities, as it is believed these will have a significant impact on footpath provision.

The Ramblers were previously campaigning against the expansion of Stansted airport, as this will be detrimental to the enjoyment of walking in the area. Ramblers Walking Holidays Ltd, the commercial arm of the Ramblers and the largest commercial financial contributor to the Ramblers, also offers flights from Stansted airport.

The Ramblers is active in promoting "walking for health" schemes (under its "Get Walking, Keep Walking" initiative).

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or campaigns:

    My mind to me a kingdom is;
    Such present joys therein I find
    That it excels all other bliss
    That earth affords or grows by kind.
    Though much I want which most would have,
    Yet still my mind forbids to crave.
    Sir Edward Dyer (c. 1540–1607)

    That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.
    Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
