I don't know whether you noticed a few days ago that Greenpeace activists scaled it and caused its temporary suspension.

Danny Price, in charge of the cable car, apologised to commuters whose journeys had been disrupted!. (I bet that took a long time.)

A couple of tweets quoted were more to the point and could well have been yours;-

"It's nice that someone is using the cable cars this morning."

"...instantly doubl[ed] the number of people who will set foot on it today".

Interestingly I didn't realise a spoof account https://twitter.com/dangleway had been set up. (Maybe you?) Quite amusing reading through the tweets; one of my favourites on the day was, "as a cable car i am both suspended right now and not suspended right now on account of me being suspended right now!"
Snorted with laughter at that last quote, thanks for sharing Tim. I hope DG you will be on equally sharp form should they ever spend enough millions to open the ridiculous garden bridge.
Bring a kitten, of course! Or even two kittens!!
And you have advertised it even further, DG. Do you have shares in the Dangleway, or Emirates, perchance?

BTW - interesting looking bit of planting in the photo - that on the Greenwich side?
Reminiscent of the Green Dock part of the Thames Barrier Park downstream.
The Dangleway is quite fun, but not much use as public transport because it goes from Nowhere to Nowhere. For that journey the Jube Tube and DLR are cheaper and faster, especially as the Dangleway is now in permanently in half-speed Scenic Mode.

I wonder when the Dangleway will be relocated to somewhere central where it would be scenic AND useful... Waterloo to Bank? The Walkie Talkie to The Shard?
Actually no, BK - that's the northern side
Is it just me (probably, but hope not) that can see what going on here. This is a cheap trick...get people interested in taking photos of something that is in all honesty not interesting...if it were to be interesting it would be located in a more interesting place which would no doubt have interesting buildings as a back-drop. The trick here is that instead of playing a professional photographer lots of money there is competition where people send in lots of interesting photos that can be used royalties free forever...the prizes offered in no way equal the cost of professional photography being sourced and paid for...an the results made be just as good by getting "us" to do the work. I wonder if anyone thinks I have a interesting point (anyone?).
If there were any 'ethical' issues to be considered, GA, I think I'd be more concerned about some of the asinine phone-in competitions they have on daytime TV.
(particularly when they say 'callers must be 18 or over' and then ask questions that a 5 year-old could answer)
Thanks for the heads up, I've just sent them a photo of a Beaver holding his baby brother. If it doesn't win it's a fix. 😉
If your photo is good enough to win the competition, why would you need a new camera?
@RoW
Oh I agree...and of course the cost of entering said competitions with in some cases "profit-making" numbers to call/text. Might aswell get a lotto ticket...though that too may be considered another con.
