I agree with that. They did not hurt anyone else, or even get close,
as far as I can see.

However, surely they should have worn gloves, so they could hang on if
something went wrong? That would have been sensible, without reducing
the thrill. IT would also mean not leaving fingerprints. Would you
really want an apprentice who was too daft to think of that?

As it is, they'll be asking mum for new trousers, as these ones have
worn out.


Well one question remains unanswered. Just how the hell did they get up
there ?. Someone must have left an access way, door or hatch open
somewhere.

Perhaps that why the council didn't want to comment;!.


It's a cable bridge, there is no protection to stop anyone climbing
it. They assumed no one in their right minds would want to.


If you look at that on Google maps you'll see that the support towers
have entrances at the bottom, so the only way is up through those ..

Or..

If they did climb up there externally then there're superb mountaineers
in the making, or else they'd had to climb up on the support cables
which may well be do-able but far more impressive if they did so than
sliding down them!....
