Zip Off

Zip Off Thirlmere - a group of like minded people who love the valley and don't want eight zip wires spoiling it. #ZipOff #Thirlmere

Have a look at which parts of the National Park are being considered for development. Consultation starts today. https://t.co/l9D1AwioXr

Happy Wednesday folks 😊Looking over towards Helvellyn & Thirlmere to the right 😊#NotJustlakes @19martin2012

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

@ZipOffHonister @LakesInstitute @cumbriatourism @ourlakes Us too. See you there!

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

@ZipOffHonister @LakesChief @honisterdotcom This revelation is political dynamite surely? Has the @lakedistrictnpa just publicly lost its mandate as an impartial planning authority?

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

@TreetopTrekUK That’s where you should be hanging. Not zipping over lakes!

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

@kathryndavids13 @ZipOffHonister Completely agree!

[Terry Abraham @terrybnd]

The Himalaya? No. Winter on Helvellyn! 😉 Aerial scenes I was filming of England's third highest peak today for my next 'Life of a Mountain' documentary🏔🎥 #lakedistrict @StormHour @CumbriaWeather @BBCFOUR @BBC_Cumbria @JuliaBradbury @CumbriaLifeMag @LakesWeather @GuardianTravel

@FriendsofLakes Thank you Laura for all your amazing efforts, especially with the Thirlmere application, and best wishes for the future

[Friends of the Lake District @FriendsofLakes]

Our planning officer Laura is moving on to pastures new - and we'll be very sorry to see her go after all her great work, but that means we're looking for a new planning officer - want to work for us? Or know someone who might? Please share! https://t.co/TQKMOy0CNy

@mumerous @unitedutilities @TreetopTrekUK We wish it was, but the @unitedutilities retrospective planning application is the final element. We know there will be no zip wires, but this track was to be used to access them, so we want it crystal clear that it is a) rejected, or b) legally restricted for logging operations.

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

4 DAYS UNTIL JUDGEMENT DAY - On 7th March the @unitedutilities access track on the West of #Thirlmere, which was previously to be used by @TreetopTrekUK, will have its retrospective planning application decided. If you're a bill payer, please tell UU to withdraw, just like TTT...

[John Gay 💙 @glenriddingjohn]

@andrewswalks Good news @ZipOffThirlmere. Please see https://t.co/lqbw0BvRaH. @TreetopTrekUK The case against Thirlmere zipwire proposal was overwhelming as it was for your Glenridding 2014 zipwire proposal. Please get it: the public do not want zipwires in the open landscape of the NP.

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

BREAKING - No zip wires over #Thirlmere ever!!! @unitedutilities have made the decision not to support any resubmitted @TreetopTrekUK zip wire plans for Thirlmere. Statement below. #ZipOff 👍 Brilliant 😊

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

1 STEP FORWARD, 1/2 STEP BACK 😡 The battle for saving #Thirlmere from @unitedutilities retrospective planning permission for a 'forestry track' took a hit today, with @lakedistrictnpa recommending it for unconditional approval (https://t.co/pm4UNLNbjo). https://t.co/rBUkwH7aRJ

[Icicle Windermere Shop @IcicleLakesHQ]

Poignant visit to site of proposed #Thirlmere zip wires today. Saw deforestation, unauthorised track building, and degradation. Sad 😢 #zipoff Object before 12/01/18. Please share; @FriendsofLakes @terrybnd @Team_BMC @CumbriaWeather @glocky9 @keswickbootco @Catstycam @alanhinkes

Two RAF Tucano’s flying towards #Ambleside and Fairfield this morning, viewed across #Windermere. We hope they wiggled their wings in salute as they flew over the newly liberated #Thirlmere today! @ZipOffThirlmere ✈️ 🇬🇧🏔 #LakeDistrict

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

Come on @unitedutilities, please can we have a response? As bill payers, we are waiting for detail. Thank you

@andrewswalks @FriendsofLakes @ZipOffThirlmere Well, the airplanes got him”.
“Oh no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast”.
(Final lines from King Kong - and very appropriate here when you read the LDNPA Report)

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

@SingletonWayne @Food2GoStaveley @FriendsofLakes The planning meeting is 7th March for this one, but we are pushing UU for clarification on their position earlier.

[Zip Off @ZipOffThirlmere]

It wasn't just the MOD that was the reason for their suggested refusal, but also landscape, infrastructure, heritage, planning policies, & highways. The publication of this document on the planning portal, is vital for our solo campaign against the ongoing UU retrospective plans.
