A five mile walk to the pub went past a local water tower. There’s a structure attached to the top that was used as an attachment point for abseiling, which was a popular way of raising funds for charities.
Never saw a water tower quite like that here in the States,
@Tenkaykev. Can't quite tell if it's made completely out of concrete or other materials as well. Metal support beams too, I suppose.
For others like myself unfamiliar with the term abseiling… It's the same as Rappelling. Both words describe outdoor activities where a rope and a friction device (usually a belay device) are used to carefully descend a cliff face or vertical wall.
Great fun, I’m sure. Never had the chance to try it yet. Takes a bit of training for safety purposes I'm sure.
Must say, 5 miles is a nice pub walk. Nice reward at the end.
