    Sounds fantastic but why does this bit about “other facilities” worry me:

    … There are also plans for camping grounds and other facilities…

    Best

    Alan and all – I can think of a few ‘other facilities’

    Helicopter pad, bush retreat for rich nature lovers, mountain bike trails, swimming pool in the river (have to dam it and dig it out a bit of course). The list can go on and on – and, I nearly forgot, what about a coal mine? Won’t affect the cliffs or the water table……………..
