10.Conserve the Cairngorms Campaign

Page 1


Hello there, my name is Tanya, and I am a representative for the Conserve the Cairngorms Campaign - a campaign which was originally established to halt the development of the funicular railway.

We fought long and hard against the original development. We believed then - as we still believe today - that it is fatally flawed and there is no economic justification for its existence. So, when I read in the papers that there are plans for an extension to the funicular I am filled with despair - it's madness, utter madness and I endeavour to do everything possible to stop this foolish proposal in it's tracks.

Both the original development and this proposed extension is bureaucratic vandalism at its very worst. Don't these idiotic politicians and councillors realise what a national - no international - treasure the Cairngorms are? They are Britain's premier mountain range and are without equal in the British Isles for their scale, their altitude and their value as wilderness country.
