First minute or so, I was thinking 'pah, what's the big deal, I could do this', then come the drops and that. ๐Ÿ˜€

That looks brilliant. No chance we could have owt like that over here- too much of me gone mad. ๐Ÿ™

Great to see what looks like a poor (relative to the UK) neighbourhood staging such an event, and everyone out having a good time.

Kind of makes me think that our at times disproportionately conservative attitudes towards 'safety', along with a culture of litigation, sometimes do us out of having fun.

In what hilly city/town in the UK could such an event work, though?
