Where the Ski Centre was

Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 31 May 2018

The Wycombe Summit dry ski slope had a chequered decade of life between 1994 and 2005. We had some good evenings here back in the day, but the venture was continually beset by problems, including a fatality and subsequent court case. The final straw was a fire in 2005 which destroyed the lodge building at the summit. Various rumours have gone around about a new venture, but finally in 2016 the site was marked out for housing with leisure access to the surrounding woodland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wycombe_Summit I'm surprised the map still marks it.
