'Tis indeed the Cantilever. Stood on it several times and I'll bet there've
been a few people tried to topple it. Still, it's been there for about ten
thousand years. It'l take more than a mere mortal to shift it! -

Yogic flying?
Funny though, I thought Cambridge University students were amongst the creme
de la creme. They'd have felt a bit thick (briefly) if it had worked.Strangely the last time I came across Cam Uni outdoors type was at Curbar
Edge years ago. My mate and I were so appalled by the antics that we
buggered off rather than wait to get drawn into a rescue.Roy (not ex-Oxford actually).

er, I think it was Mr B who was top posting. Mr H is correctly
posting under what he's replying to, but forgetting to delete the
superfluous bits below.Pedantically
