Access to Church Beck Coniston
Following the installation of the new hydro electric power scheme into Church Beck the land owner has confirmed that he is agreeable for those signed up to the original Church Beck User Agreement to be able to use the ghyll again. It is very important that users continue to respect the conditions of the agreement, as use of the gyhll will still be monitored by the land owner and his land agent.
It should be pointed out that users should conduct a new risk assessment for the ghyll before using it as there may be changes to the ghyll following the engineering work.

Access & conservation
Some good liaison and communication has been had with a number of bodies and organisations around the region in particularly United Utilities who own a substantial amount of land accessed by outdoor users. United Utilities are currently reviewing their policy on usage of their land and NRIOL were able to respond to their proposals ensuring they understood the values and concerns held by the outdoor sector.
