The rope bridge when it was a challenge...
...and after Health and Safety got hold of it.(You'd struggle to get that downward picture through the ropes now Marie !)
N.B It'll cost you £4.90 just to walk along the path to the bridge from the visitors centre,even if you don't cross it.

  1. Wow, what brilliant photos. You crammed a lot into a few days, looks like you had decent weather too. Hope you managed to find some good routes etc. Reading this tonight makes me want to go there very soon - what a place.
