I'd like to try it out if I get a chance when I start teaching. I'm trying to talk my Dad into going walking sometime soon, and Islay and Bute are high on my list of places to visit.

I have a higher Tech studies class ALL going home to play......... I mean learn about structures. As for a structure which holds your self. I take my SG class to the hall with a length of handrail. They form the structure. This is easy when thay stand directly under the hand rail but, as I explain, structures require spaces down the middle of them as they developed. Usually for churches. So when they try and hold this particular 100kg prop forward of a teacher they struggle. So flying butteresses are added by more pupils. this time the additional pupils push, straight armed, onto the shoulder blades of the main supports. They can carry my weight and they literally feel the forces and the reactions directly Thanks for the Bridge designer.

It'll take some collecting though. It’s an idea, an obvious suspension bridge. It’ll take some collecting though.
