A few shots of the original installation that ran to the old works. Erected in the 1920s.








Here's a run through the present ropeway from the top loading station.

Id be well up for that if you want to try and organise Al?

Id offer but it sounds better coming from you, you can always drop stuff like "wrote this" and "contributed to that" etc

Great stuff and from the old working shots we know where Simon Cowl got his pants style from.

that bull is a minor little thing, just clap your hands and wave it off. its more interested in the heifers anyway

Excellent pics though, would love a look around it.

I'm laughing at that, but nervously as I strongly suspect its the whole truth. And if you want meat, get a cherolet bull.
