Loved the flyover the line and well done. Love to see others also if the final section of the climb can be filmed as well. Not an easy job firing up that range.
ReplyDeleteShame that while in the main, the line looks fairly good, allowing for the height and does not show the real condition, certainly the time has taken its toll with cuttings washed down and many trees impeding.
