Never mind the workers, would any of you be game to walk on the track & bridges?

when I first saw this my mind went wild imagining it suggested here. :roll:
Planning Permit(s) and all the assesments and feasability studies.
Then someone has to survey the site, determine the best location, design the concept etc etc. Then set the blessed thing out!! No thanks.

I do take my hat off to the workers though.

No NNW - I'd not be racing to get in line for a walk, thats for sure.

What??? I wouldn't do it for a bowl of rice and the smell of a dead fish, most Chinese rural workers seem to be still forced into what we would consider slave labour

yes well that takes some stamina in every way.
Interesting how casual he seems about it. Good post thanks.
You wouldn't want to forget something or drop the pliers. :roll:
Not for me thanks.

This is as far as I ever got and quite memorable.
