Positioned on the first right hand bend north of Grizedale Tarn. Now opposite a new Go Ape Zip slide installed 2016. It is a white picket fence, as you would commonly see in suburbia, deliberately built low enough that you could step over it (still too high for me). It was influenced by the right to roam act.

This sculpture has relatively recently, (around 2015), been completely refurbished, as it was full of holes last time I saw it. This photograph taken in December 2014, shows it dismantled laying at the side of the road. I can only assume that it is due to its proximity to Go Ape, combined with the fact that it’s a sculpture that is very easy to fix as to why it was refurbished. I also know that Touchstone, Scott-Gurner’s other work was also refurbished around this time. The three other photographs on this page show the artwork post refurbishment.
