Looks like you would get winched over in a harness. Not sure who 'runs' this activity. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18739#post-280373 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 13:17:30 +0000 I were right about that saddle 280373@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What's needed is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spidercam">spidercam</a> so you can fly through the glens like a Tornado pilot. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18739#post-280349 Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:46:09 +0000 LivM 280349@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is no walkway but there is a viewing platform somewhere around Penrith so you get a decent aerial view. Plus some information boards which are interesting. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18739#post-280276 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 09:00:01 +0000 chdot 280276@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>After the sale of the hotel in 1985, parts of the map deteriorated slowly over the years and, while it remains generally substantial, some of the concrete is now in a fragile and ruinous condition.[3] In 2010, a group of volunteers calling themselves Mapa Scotland was formed which secured category B listed for the map from Historic Scotland in 2012[13] and aims to restore it to its original condition while promoting it as a heritage monument, educational resource and visitor attraction. </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Polish_Map_of_Scotland" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Polish_Map_of_Scotland</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.mapascotland.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.mapascotland.org</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18739#post-280274 Mon, 16 Apr 2018 08:11:06 +0000 Nelly 280274@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like this feature. </p> <p>First saw it when on a work course at Barony Castle - which at the time was IIRC the training centre for Scottish Ambulance Service.</p> <p>It was overgrown and in disrepair then, so good news repair has been completed.</p> <p>Going by the drone photo, it looks a lot better from above, wonder if they have incorporated a viewing walkway?</p> <p>In any event, worth a detour if you're in the area on the bike. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18739#post-280215 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:45:47 +0000 gembo 280215@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A hamster could </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18739#post-280213 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:39:34 +0000 I were right about that saddle 280213@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Would cycle round it on a tiny bicycle. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18739#post-280212 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 11:30:43 +0000 gembo 280212@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Last weekend I pointed this out as we approached Edelston. My cycling buddies expect such trivia. Little did I know it had just been renovated and made the news this week. Good map inside water feature </p>
