Zip Wire on Fleetwith Pike
« on: 09:01:03, 25/10/12 »
What do people think about the resubmitted plans?  :(

I know opinion is split on this topic. My view will not change - the wire would spoil the area for me. I'm one of those "boring" people who like peace and quiet on the fells and wouldn't want to hear all the screams coming from folk hurtling down the wire. I'm sure they would be heard on Haystacks and surely this fell must be left in peace because it is the resting place of AW after all.

I don't have a problem with it.
I wouldn't want them everywhere in the Lakes but everyone has a right to go there and enjoy themselves so long as it doesn't destroy the area for others.
 
AW has only got himself to blame that the area is so popular.

guess who

Have to agree with this.

I dont like the idea at all, infact I dont even like the look of the bright orange 'slate mine' that are trying to build it.
