Residents living near the National Park, the last two months, British Balmy, the summer temperatures, because of a sharp increase in illegal camps, “flying camp epidemic” he says.
The wild camp was banned on the coast of Lake Ullswater with visitors who offer official camps in the field of seven national trust in the field of only hundreds of meters from Sudan.
According to the Lake region website, the wild camp is usually legal, but only key rules are monitored.
If the towns and villages are close to the shores of the lake, camps are not allowed and they are not allowed to leave the garbage or camp equipment.
54 -year -old Clive Rowlandson, who lives in the region throughout his life, says that they are a “eye -catching”.
He said: “The community heart has been broken – continuous antisocial behavior, garbage and not only ignored the region.

“Finding garbage on the shore is common and the remaining two or three camps for the cleaning of the locals
“Due to the hot and still air, the number of fly campers doubled last year, and they do not bring anything to the community except for garbage.
“They stay in such a beautiful place, but they’re actually ruining the experience of other people – many real people don’t want to see the region and the place.
“This is a shame – they spoil it for those who respect the region.”
Keen Walker says that he and many other locals “worried” that the problem will be much worse, and that the Council and the National Guven does not challenge unwanted visitors.
He said: “We do not want people who have camps in the region to come and visit them to visit their friends, do not challenge them, take their names or continue.

“If there are strong boundaries, the campers would think twice before making their decisions.”
On the Lake District website, he says that the fly camp is not allowed – but if visitors follow 12 times the rule of visitors, wild camps are allowed.
There are 141 dedicated camps in the region where visitors can set up a tent without any rules – there are seven around Lake Ullswater.
Wild camp rules, not to illuminate any fire, stay only one night, keep the groups too small – just one or two tents, involved in an observation as possible with uncomfortable tents.
He also informs those who want to make wild camps, landowners are “legal right” to “break the camp and continue”.
Those who are guilty normally receive a fixed fine – the latest cases have been fined 100 £ 100 given to guilty parties.

Stephen Dowson, the main protector of National Trust, says: uz We share the disappointments affected by the local people and the fly camp and garbage.
“We want to encourage people to enjoy outdoors and go out and enjoy the rural areas, but to respect the landscape and wild life that makes these places their homes.
“Fly camp is illegal and is not allowed to make all kinds of camps on the national trust field unless it is an official camp area.
“This anti-social behavior is not only built for other visitors, but also damages the habitats and damages the wild life.
“After fly camps, cleaning takes the time of our Ranger teams in the Lakes Region and removes them from vital nature protection.
He continued: “After the campers, we are very grateful to the local people who set out to clean.”

‘Fly Camping’ s lake area and especially in the Ullswater region, he says.
Terry said: “Rule cuttings are a very recent term to distinguish between real wild campers on Fells, who respects nature.
“Unfortunately, when it comes to respect for nature, I saw a negative generation change under the 30s.
“With my own eyes, people tear the ‘no camp’ signs and used them as a wood that will burn them – really shocking.
“Now he’s boiling my blood and breaking my heart, he’s got to the point I didn’t want to take a walk or a bike about Ullswater or falls.
The fact that the rural code is not understood and blames “solid penalties” or “strict penalties” by buildings by ruling people.
He said: “People are fined for an old £ and only round their eyes – but change can be applied through education.”

LDNPA’s visitor management leader Simon Hill said, “We encourage respect everyone who is looking forward to enjoying the lake area and to be a lake region species.
“Most people respect the landscape, but we are about to see that garbage, fly camp and fires are illuminated.
“This is not just a stain in the beautiful landscape, but a real threat to security, habitat and wildlife.
“Please note that the Lake area is not only a good holiday place, that the view is home to thousands of people and trusts the sources of livelihood.
“The National Park enjoyes everyone in a responsible way and everyone can appreciate the inspiring landscape in peace.”
According to the spokesman of the authority, the wild camp “is normally tolerated if the camps are as prominent as possible, if only one night stays and leaves the area as they are.
