How disappointing to see this article with no reference at all to the many horse riders who turned up for this march. Most of them had ridden for more than an hour to get there in pouring rain, with preparation starting at 9.00 am! The lane up to Ding is part of a National Bridleway and the views and support of the riding community should not be ignored, they will be affected as much (if not more) than any other parts of the community. The re-opening of the quarry would make it impossible for riders to safely negotiate this route.
