I am a researcher working on behalf of the Rockingham Forest Trust. They are handling the development of the Stanwick Lakes site on the A45 near Rushden.
Once Hansen move out in a few months, the plan is to create a new country park area.
One aspect of this involves possibly opening up the old Railway line to Thrapston as a Right of Way for Horses Bikes and walkers. This is alongside the 5 lakes and numerous trails within the site.
Basically we'd like to find out how many groups or individuals would use a site like this.
Runners are a key outdoor group we would like to attract to the site, however with the growing popularity of Triathlon, we were wondering if there is a demand for locations that can offer running and open water swimming on the same site?
So, please tell us
If you live locally, would you use it?
Where do you run / swim at the moment?
Are there any particular facilities you'd like to see at the site that would encourage is use?
What sort of facilities would make it a suitable venue for a competition?
Many thanks in anticipation
