Saw it on the TV news this morning and thought about OC (couldn't find a link to the BBC news clip but the story is covered in this Guardian article): https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jan/07/campaigners-zip-wire-lake-district-environmental-thirlmere-reservoir-attraction
The company wants to put massive zip wires across the reservoir for people to "fly" over the landscape; local conservation campaigners are, naturally, fighting to keep them away.
It's not a place I've visited but the views looked stunning on the news clip and all I could think of was how the natural beauty and uncluttered view would be completely spoiled by such an enterprise.
Have any of you been to Thirlmere?
