VI. Reading.
1. Read the text about Britain by Gordon Winter. It will be continued
after each unit.
Even our mountains, which have been moulded for thousands
of years by the erosion of sun and wind and rain, are beginning to
crumble away because of the erosion caused by human feet. Snowdon is
the worst victim so far, but it is not the only mountain to suffer. This is
a major problem of landscape management, and we are still only
fumbling our way towards a solution. In parts of the Lake District the
National Trust has found that it can control human erosion by closing
specific paths, or areas of mountainside, until they have had time to
recover; but I suspect that that is no more than a temporary palliative in
the face of the general problem of overpopulation, combined with
increasing mobility and leisure. It seems to me inevitable that we shall
have to devise some form of rationing of access, in some parts of the
country, if we are to prevent crowds from destroying the scenery and
the solitude that they have come to admire.
