Ringstone
Sue and I stopped on the path by Ringstone yesterday to eat our lunch whilst out cycling. We were not sure if anyone was in the hide at the time, around 12 o'clock ? What we did notice that in a field near the hide a guy was flying a model aeroplane and he flew this over the reservoir and shore line on numerous occasions whilst we sat eating lunch. I am not sure if this can be stopped or not legally, but it might be a good idea for someone to suggest to him that flying a noisy petrol driven model plane over a nature conservation area is not a good idea, especially in the breeding season.

There is a contact card for the model plane club in the hide. I understood that they had agreed not to fly over the shore during spring/summer, but I guess there will always be a rogue member (or two).
John Beaumont has had discussions with members of the Club and they agreed not to fly over the res during the breeding season. If this continues it may be neccessary to involve the police as the presence of LRPs on site means this is wilful disturbance (and illegal).
