Only here for another couple of weeks, today I went on it with my two Irish visitors.

It's nothing special, no sense of scariness, just a gentle ride.

So, to save you spending £7.00 for three revolutions (about 15 minutes) here's what it looks like.



























On this next pic, I can see my home from here. You see that biggest building to the left of centre of picture? To the left of it in the picture, that small block, that's where I live

Uh, nope. Nikon D40X SLR. Sorry bout dat

Pix have been reduced from super high res to 800 pixels wide, btw, which kinda reduces quality as well.

Nice pics Flops Everytime I see pics of where you live I always think you're lucky to have such interesting places close by

Did you shake the cabin It was really windy when we went on the Mancheter one with a few friends and it can rock quite a bit!
