That is amazing. I am constantly amazed by people. Great cinematic work too. Thanks Peter.
I broke down in Skye once - there are some really oddball characters who live there. But they were very accommodating whilst I waited for parts to a Citroen CX (stupidest car I ever owned).

Thank you Peter.

No - I hadn't seen it before: I'd never even heard of Danny MacAskill. I've just spent a good half hour watching his stuff on Youtube though, properly enthralled.
The
'Making the Ridge' videos on Cut Media's channel are worth a watch too.
This one for example shows the climb up the 'inaccessible pinnacle': it looks like Danny—being a headstrong, risk-taker type chappie—frightened his team by unclipping from the safety line on the way up.
I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for what he gets up to next.
Cheers,
Nick
