Tail boom ....don't bother . I have to deal with these idiots re grouse moors.
Most of them are townies and anti field sports and have no knowledge of the country . God knows why they think they know more than the people who's family has looked after the land for generations!!!
Ps Well done TC , For one moment I thought you may let us down .

thanks for that pennine boy. its generated a huge amount of support for the proposal and an equal amount of loathing and disbelief at the actions of natural england, and to a lesser extent friends of the lake district, whose hq was recently torched.

i have congratulated richard leafe who a few months over a pizza told me he was backing the idea.. i guessed this was off record but alas it wasnt. so do you let the dust settle or resubmit?? in light of the programme i would do the latter. eric robson is probably the most level headed old lakes warrior and his opinion i respect the most and he is up for it.

and after that???? mark weir the movie i predict!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

get that petition going pennine wanderer!!

It is the same thing! A guy has lost his life! Be it tree huggers or Zip Wire maniacs it doesnt matter what you want to call them!

But what a better tribute, condolences or what ever you deem the thread to be! Than helping Marks familly, and a wish that Mark wanted, than getting behind a petition to try and get the plan accepted.

I am sorry if you think that this is in the wrong thread, but it is all about the same guy, and his dream! So come on you pruners!

tc, merely hours after marks death people were talking about the zip wire being the finest tribute imaginable... that legacy is the best form of remembrance.

the thread is titled tributes and condolences after all.

Better Late than never

I would like to tribute Mark Weir.
He was a good business man and has brought some life to the Lakes District.
As an aviator,
"It could have happened to any of us!!"


If nothing, his death is a warning. "Get home itus" and other issues can and do kill.

I have lost 4 close friends and every time I think, "Oh I can do that...| I think what about Henry, or Pat, or Nigel, Jerry and now Mark....

Fly safe, have fun and prosper.

You smoking something 342? Strange and very very late tribute - half cocked too.

Just seen his wife on a Nat West advert. Nat West advertising the help they gave her with the business after the accident.
