What's the point of the helmets?

Some people have ideas for relaxing that would tire you
and I out, just by thinking about them...

However, that's all very well, but look at the photos and ask yourself the
question ~ "What's the point of the helmets?"....

That's mental, but it does look like fun!

I had to do a similar path in the Lake District on my Glod DofE practice- it wasn't quite as high and slightly less vertical it was narrower though and still wasn't good when you don't like heights!

Although I did plan the route

Leading eh? Just be sure that you can get the protection out on your way down

Ive got one nut missing in my set :redface:

Tonks - the only way I can cope with looking at your picture is to turn it 90 degrees anti-clockwise :shock:

As for those bikers (having finally found the nerve to actually study the pics) it looks like that ridge doesn't go all the way along the cliff face. So how did they get down there and how will they get back out?

My guess is that they skydived in and will base jump out with the bikes strapped to their backs. Any other ideas?

Go on Tonks, tell us that is how the picture was originally taken, like the old Batman prog!

The helmets are obviously there for keeping their heads clean from guano.

Thats awesome stuff. I have done some pretty mad things on the bike but not quite on the same scale. If its genuine then I'd buy those boys a beer if they came to my neck of the woods. :prayer:
