This has cropped up in my socials a few times. This is a fairly organised campaign, but its got a bit of a nimby vibe. Having said that, the project seems a bit odd in itself. 

Fortunately the land purchased doesn’t include Ravensdale crag so it shouldn’t be affected. 

Parking will be

Agreed, it is in “my back yard” but all these crazy projects are in someone’s “back yard”

if you are a regular visitor to Ravensdale, then it is in your back yard too!

A bit odd is an understatement. It's a bunch of tinfoil hat anti-vax 5g conspiracy loons.

To be honest, I'd far rather it _was_ in my metaphorical backyard - some nondescript East Anglian farmland - instead of somewhere as unique and special as Cressbrook Dale.

Is it?  It looks a bit more like that eco village thing in Aberystwyth to me, and I'd not call them loons.

Headed by a Rachel Enlaugh, an anti-vax activist who memorably said Chris Whitty 'will hang'.

Also, her words : 

We are aware that the 7.5acres of forest to the South of the Ravensdale paddock is classified as SSSI. We are indeed in touch with Natural England ~ and we have also asked them to confirm whether the trespass on that land (by locals, rock climbers and tourists ~ who have dismantled part of the wall to gain access) should continue to be allowed.

To be fair if the access is indeed trespass (i.e. no PROW or access land) then they've got a point.  There's no automatic right of access to land just by being a climber, and it might genuinely be the case that access needs looking at in some way.

She might have a point, but deliberately ruining things for others because you're in a strop about not being able to do whatever you like, is hardly an endearing character trait.

I quote that merely as an indication of their intentions. 

I somehow doubt the Great Reset doomsday cultists building their sanctuary are in it for the greater good.

Not to mention the residents of Ravensdale, not the weirdos

That quote was with reference to the crags at Tideswell Dale not Ravensdale.

Anyway rest assured the BMC local access reps have been aware of this for some time and monitoring developments. 

True.

Also true.

I am a regular visitor to Ravensdale and have noticed various changes.  What are these folk doing that is actually prohibited?

Evidence wise, mainly cutting down trees for now but there is rare flora there and the idea that land could be used a farm is both scary for a SSI and ridiculous from a practicality perspective.  Maybe have a look on the thread on the other channel (I don't want to link it here as these threads will be watched).

If anyone is interested, it is an ex ‘dragon’ from dragon’s den

Perdantic... 🙄

I don't know what you mean by the other channel.

I agree that they will not get very far trying to grow vegetables in such a location.
