Self Regulation - What does it mean to you? 18-Jul-2012 At 4:56:53 PM Reluctant

Yearly fee - light , medium , heavy use rates. Submit per use plan to on line register. Get caught and lose the permit. Reapply and with a record get pushed up to the next level. That's the stick. The carrot is access guaranteed. If this means exclusion of others during weekdays to routes they have booked so be it. As it is booked on a register you know before you go it is in use and to make other plans. Ranger does one visit at end of day. Damage, mess etc is then attributable.

Only worthwhile if money is reinvested to commercial areas. Keep traffic on a main road principle. Beginners have a place and everything else stats as is.

Those who already do the right thing are wondering why the fuss. Those who have dealt with arrogant and ignorant users of parks ( I believe that number is growing) know a code of practice that is distributd for free with your next equipment purchase MIGHT get the idea out there. Common sense is no longer so common.
If its a code of practice, non binding, and is not enforced - don't bother.
