How you can help

Ooooh

Ooooh indeed, I like that a lot. Haven’t had the family down the GT yet (mostly because of Arwen wiping out the best of the green) but this is really tempting

Would save me cycling up to buzzards nest twice a day!

That’s a really nice idea- and smart, too, with the buzzard’s nest closing, it’ll help people out who’re totally used to parking at the top for the kids, soften the blow a bit.

How little do the legs need to be? My mates say I’m a short arse!

Anyone know if this will also happen over summer?

If the work has started then I’m guessing it won’t be as there in unlikely to be a space available for drop offs.

Ah, OK. I hadn’t realised that was the case, I thought it was to avoid the works. Where do the paid uplifts run to now?

I don’t think they do now…I thought it was an Easter break thing whilst the forestry decided to mess about with start times for the construction work.
I’m assuming work has now started and the Buzzards is now just a mess of construction site work as the new chalets get built.
Clearly I’m sticking my nose in but without actual detail…sorry.

There was a bus running yesterday.
No idea where it was dropping off or if it was free though we only saw it at the pickup point.
Buzzards is all fenced off now with a trail diversion.
