I watched a program about the said mine last night, I think it was a repeat, all a bit sad.

EDIT: The situation that is, not the repeat.

I watched it, too and it is sad, both in terms of tragic personal events and the attitude of a lot of people, who want the National Park preserved in aspic, with nothing to disturb their 'solitude'
I previously had a business in a National Park and know exactly what happens!

Heartily agree. They didn't want a mine on the NYM as it would scare away the tourists. They didn't want a zip-wire or via ferrata at Honister as it would offend the sensibilities of those same tourists.

I suspect lot of visitors will just fill up at Sainsburys before setting off to enjoy their home-packed lunches in an unspoiled wilderness to which they contribute nothing but congestion and pollution.

rant over. the Honister programme was moving and poignant, and highlighted the high-handed way in which unelected authority looks after our 'best interests'
