Subject: RE: BS: UK footpaths, a modest proposal
There are a number of footpaths opening in various parts of Wales - for instance, four in Snowdon, I think. Quite a few in West Wales as well - including many stretches of cycle track.

I am not in favour of wholesale opening just yet; there is still too great a chance of infection or reinfection. Many people don't realize just how deep, economically, the effects of the crisis are within the rural economy and society.

I am in an unaffected area, and an area which produces 10 to 15 per cent of the UK's milk. Infection would be disasterous for us, although we're opening many paths which won't compromise farms.

Keep to the paths which are opening - they'll be increasing exponentially this month. A little co-operation is much appreciated.
