 I think there seems to be a lot more outdoor activity. People are a lot more into going swimming in the lake. When I first came here hardly anyone used to swim in the lake, I was always doing it but never saw anyone else. Now  everyone’s doing it. I think its wonderful.

There was always loads of climbers here though. It seems like the population is made of a third climbers. And now they all seem to be runners. They are running everywhere. A lot of climbers have turned to running.

At least all the events this year have been cancelled [conversation during lockdown]! There used to just be 3 events, that’s enough, 3 events. And they were started locally, they are run by us and they bring money in and its good for the community. But it had got to almost every weekend there was something on, people just decide they want to come here and run something and they do. There isn’t anything, no thought, about what makes it work for us. I don’t think that can continue. People are feeling quite resentful. This isn’t like some kind of playground, its where we live.
