The spirit of Kinder lives on

-

April marked 90 years since the mass trespass on Kinder Scout in the Peak District, when workers protested for the right to walk Britain’s countrysid­e. A number of events marked the anniversar­y and updated its message. The Kinder in Colour walk (kinderinco­lour.land) brought together Black People and People of Colour (BPOC) to address unequal access to green spaces, with speakers including author Anita Sethi (below). Organiser Sam Siva said: “By connecting to nature, celebratin­g our rich cultures and dreams, we can create a new culture for the countrysid­e, one which embraces change, biodiversi­ty and difference.” And at Kinder Reservoir, bathers dived in to campaign for the right to swim in inland waters (outdoorswi­mmingsocie­ty.com).
