I also said this:

"...and by the end of the lesson they'd know where their Right to Roam came from. They'd have learnt all about Kinder Scout and the hundreds of people who came together in Mass Trespass, fighting for that very Right to Roam, bringing about social change for hundreds of thousands of people!

He'd probably even have them all signed up to The Ramblers Association in the blink of an eye and the kids would call their own walking group The Tamblers, meeting up with Mr. Tams at weekends to go rambling together, both verbally, musically and on foot..."

...as well as this, which you picked up on:

"I think many young people, and older ones too, would have no clue about how or why The Ramblers Association was started."


What I did NOT say was that The Ramblers Association was started because of Kinder Scout. Kinder Scout did however, bring in massive public attention to the cause and many folks took up the banner and helped to push forward the Right to Roam and our National Parks, which may well NOT have happened had the Kinder Scout Trespass not taken place.

I have never been informed of anything much at a Bellowhead concert...I have however, come away ALWAYS the wiser after listening to John Tams.

And I believe this is 102
