Circular lake around the base - there would be a path formed as a Spiral Maze, one route to the top and another to come down.
Site and Planning
Obviously Planning would be a major issue.
People living nearby may not want all this on their doorstep, it will alter the landscape and bring in many visitors to an area perhaps not well served with roads. We have to start by asking .
Regarding one potential site we are considering ,we have met with one local authority who were totally non committal but not dismissive.
We have also contacted the landowner of this one site – he also was undaunted by the idea and willing to at least consider it.
e mail received 16th Feb 2004 re: construction
“The volume of a 300m diameter, 120m high cone is 2,826,000 cubic metres.
Rather than use a moat, we could possibly excavate an annulus around the mountain. This would have the effect of further raising the mountain from the local terrain. One could still put a moat within the annulus.
To obtain sufficient material the annulus would need a diameter of 500 metres, ie it would be 200m metres wide, and would need to be an average of 7 metres deep. This would generate a volume of 2,198,000 cubic metres, which would bulk up to the required volume.
Possibly an opportunity to overcome an environmental problem by using innert waste eg old car tyres
Based on the above, the diameter of the recessed annulus to its centre line is 500 metres. Overall it would be 700 metres. It could be irregular in shape to suit the site layout and could be used to screen car parking, visitor centre etc. “
