Goodness, my heart is in my mouth at this story - look at the last picture

a 5 year old is in that cloth bag

Now, there's an argument for home ed.

oh my goodness!!!!!

Holy Moses!

I remember seeing a documentary about these people when I was a kid. Made my trip to school seem quite boring really.

Bloody hell!!!!!

It puts some of my trivial worries for dd into perspective.

Eek!

And to think we were all thwarted by a little bit of snow!!!

That really is sticking it to the 'elf and safety brigade....

how do they get back

The first picture has someone coming back.

isn't it amazing how different the world is.

that looks fun!

I want to travel like that! How do they get back nhome, though? Agree that is a puzzler.

so they have to pull themselves back?

How cool is that - as for getting back, I guess if they are basically crossing straight across, as it were, then there could well be one wire sloping each way?

What a start to the day! - wasn't there a story a while back about some kids having to walk along a really high up narrow ledge.

I did an aerial slide a few years ago for the National Deafs Childrens Society. It was a childhood ambition fulfilled. When i was about seven years old i saw Simon Groom doing one on Blue Peter. He went from Tower Bridge over the Thames. When I did mine i went from the top of the HMS Belfast right over the river. Was the most exhilirating thing i have ever done!!!

i wanna have a go.

I think actually it looks absolutely brilliant. Though of course I wouldn't want ds to do it. how assured that girl looked up there. Admirable.

lottiejenkins - i remember that too - the Simon groom one on Blue Peter - it looked fantastic - I'm quite envious of you having done it too!!
