@Ped!

I done it when I was at school, with the school. On a windy day, was shitting my pants. I was once in Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh that looks on to Arthurs Seat (Amirite anyone whos been to dynamic earth?!) and one of the workers told us he often see's people putting there jackets above their heads and jumping forward, the wind is so strong on some days it's possible to do without falling. Wither that's bullshit I don't know.

been there. when I went the 'time machine' was under maintenance, so I had to take the stairs, probably not the same experience.
Also, done Arthur's Seat, great view up there.

Did you know there's an easy way up, because I didn't.

FETCHER. · 03-16-2012, 08:59 AM

Hahaha no, I was breathing out my arse before I'd even hit halfway I'm sure. I assume the easy way would be on the otherside?

Right. After a couple hours of hiking this sheer mountain face via a hundredmillion tiny steps, I get to the top to see a group of mormons conversing with God, who apparently told them that on the other side is a nice gentle slope up to the seat.

HAHA, I guessed that the other side would be a jaunt up haha. I would've throttled someone, after all that hard work and burning quads

Is Dynamic Earth the same centre with the iceberg in it?

The most beautiful place in the world I've been to is a place called Dephi Valley in Connemara on the west coast of Ireland. We were brought there on a school trip for a few days nearly ten years ago and it was an amazing experience. Everything about the place was so tranquil, you felt isolated and cut-off from civilisation but in a good way. It was an escape. The scenery is pretty awesome compared to where I live, which is flat and boring, you were surrounded by mountains, ribbon lakes and streams. I'd really love to go back there sometime and escape from society for a few days.

(Not my photos btw)

The buildings in the distance on the right in this picture is where we stayed. It's kind of like a mountain leisure resort.

Err, I think so. They've also got one at the Discovery in Dundee. Just a slab of cold material, right?
As underwhelming as that sounds

The first picture looks amazing, especially with the little boats. I am also maybe going to the lake district down south today, so I'll probably take my camera
