My interest in this is not to find out what Nat Parks means, and hence what they will attempt to prevent. That has already been established - and in that sense this thread has provided ample answer to the original question.

What is interesting is to consider whether it is actually illegal to climb in these areas. For that question it is completely irrelevant what Nat Parks thinks the regulations mean. All that matters is what you can convince a court that they mean, and that just involves interpreting the words of the section.

Anyway, enough from me... no one seems to give a s*** about the actual legal requirements - and that's probably fair enough as for practical purposes it would never actually come to that.
