CONTINUITY: A Ride on the Claughton Aerial Ropeway
An earlier post on 2021-07-13, “Powered by Gravity—Britain's Last Aerial Ropeway”, described the last operating cargo ropeway in Britain. At the time, video maker Tom Scott, sent a GoPro Hero 9 camera down the ropeway with a bucket of cargo. The weather could have been better (as is often the case in the British Isles), but this 19 minute video gives the full experience of riding the ropeway with cargo. Note that buckets bound uphill are empty: it's the difference between the up-mass and down-mass that powers the ropeway.
