That’s brightened my Tuesday up. The application for zip lines over Thirlmere has been withdrawn! (Sorry for blurred screen photo!) #lakedistrict Wild Lakeland 😌

Zip Off Treetop Trek & Nets Friends of the Lake District Terry Abraham FRGS Campaign for National Parks Yesss! Delighted to hear this. Was at Thirlmere last week and was feeling so depressed to think that one of my favourite places could be ruined. This good news has made my day!! #ZipOff #Thirlmere

NEW PRESS RELEASE - #ZipOff statement - "...the battle may have been won, but the war is not over". Read the full statement below. #Thirlmere #ZipOff #LakeDistrict

THIRD BATTLE FOR THIRLMERE - Yesterday, under the smokescreen of the withdrawal of Treetop Trek & Nets #Thirlmere 8 zip wires plans, United Utilities denied their western shore plans are connected (x.com/unitedutilitie…), and their application is ongoing. The 3rd battle begins...

Sirs and Madames of the supporting parties. I present to you, my middle finger...  You can zip down that all you like! 😉 #ZipOff #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #NotJustLakes #StormHour #TheResistance #ThePhotoHour

Here is the statement from United Utilities which they issued yesterday, with the plans for the 4x4 truck track proposed in the Treetop Trek & Nets plans, and a very similar shaped forestry track in the UU plans. Are they possibly the same? Please clarify UU. Thanks

WOW Lake District have just released their draft report to the Development Control Committee. They recommended a REFUSE on many grounds! This is a huge result, to block a Treetop Trek & Nets attempt to re-submit the application at #Thirlmere at a later date. lakedistrict.gov.uk/swiftlg/MediaT…

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.

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

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! Zip Off ✈️ 🇬🇧🏔 #LakeDistrict

1 STEP FORWARD, 1/2 STEP BACK 😡 The battle for saving #Thirlmere from United Utilities retrospective planning permission for a 'forestry track' took a hit today, with Lake District recommending it for unconditional approval (lakedistrict.gov.uk/swiftlg/MediaT…). x.com/IcicleLakesHQ/…

BREAKING - No zip wires over #Thirlmere ever!!! United Utilities have made the decision not to support any resubmitted Treetop Trek & Nets zip wire plans for Thirlmere. Statement below. #ZipOff 👍 Brilliant 😊

Andrew Locking Good news Zip Off. Please see tinyurl.com/y9w67zey. Treetop Trek & Nets 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.

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

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! ow.ly/L99L30iOeHM
