DEAR Ms Hall (chief executive of Chorley Borough Council).

I would like to put on record that I believe the Go Ape course planned for Rivington is an excellent project.

At present, we, as a family, have to travel to Delamere Forest to experience this great adventure and, believe me, my 13-year-old daughter can’t get enough.

It has truly helped her conquer her fear of heights and has also helped her to learn to trust her own sensibility, which is part of the growing-up experience.

I, as her dad, have thoroughly enjoyed the sharing experience this has enabled me to have with my daughter, as in great one-on-one time.

I understand people are wary of upsetting the environment etc, but if you go to any of their courses they are in keeping with surrounding areas and actually put more back than they take.
