Well, I'm going to put my head above the parapet and say that I think that the NT does an excellent job. Just look at the size of its "estate" and ask yourselves why so many people have been prepared to hand over/bequeath their properties for the enjoyment of us all. As was said earlier "For everyone, for ever"; it's not just there to indulge a few boaters.

The rules are no different from the "No picnicing" rules which they understandably have in most of the inland sites. There are many beaches in the Poole area, and you've got boats to get there. Why not?

Exit, stage left, waiting to be flamed!
