My sarcasm dosent translate as well into the blog: we need an emoticon symbol for it! I'm not against the idea of a cabel car per se... I am wholeheartedly against the thinking behind this scheme as I see it.

The thinking seems to be that the Mournes is a product that needs to be sold, developed, marketed and ultimately profited from: I disagree with that mindless and endless consumerism totally. The project in question seems to be pitched with a subtext of wider development...ie an ad campaign, get people to go, get them to pay to go to parts, get them to buy useless plastic junk with Mournes written on it, get a viral ad campaign, get get get!

For me the outdoors and specifically the Mournes means so much more. I'm against turning it into a product in any form.

Just a few ramblings but that's the way I see it

i could not say it any better, im a tree hugger !!!!!
