It was good to see the Belfast Telegraph giving countryside access issues a bit of coverage. First it covered the welcome ruling by the court to force a landowner to open the King John's Highway in Holywood County Down.
Next it covered another piece of good news on the local countryside access front.
Finally it had a more general piece on the poor countryside access legislation Northern Ireland is currently lumbered with. Once again, kudos goes to Ulster Federation of Rambling Clubs.
This could indicate a growing interest by the press in this issue . The Telegraph has a long history of campaigning on progressive issues, and it would be a powerful ally in any campaign to pressurise our politicians into reshaping our countryside access laws for the better.
