Sir,—l echo the sentiments expressed by “Unhappy Picnicker” in your columns. I was just able to cope with the under-five-year-olds and the picnic basket, but I could not carry my 88-year-old grandmother. Fit and all as gran is, she could, not negotiate that rickety stile, nor the fence which gives immediate access to the river. If the board cannot grant access to the river through the paddock at present closed to cars, surely it would be a relatively simple matter to cut a track along the slagheap side of the fence, and so permit families to reach the river comfortably, without tearing their clothes on a fence or spraining an ankle, and enjoy their picnic.— Yours, etc.,. HELEN B. JOHNSTON. February 24, 1971.
