<p>For a while I've been meaning to record an entire lift run at a ski resort.
On <a href="http://www.janeandrichard.co.uk/travel/spainmarch2007/">a trip to Sierra Nevada last March</a>, Jane decided to make the recording -- presumably because she was bored of me mentioning it and forgetting to
do it.</p>
<p>Unfortunately she picked the longest lift run at <a href="http://www.andalucia.co.uk/channels/sierra_nevada/sierranevadapistemap/">the resort</a>. The original video
sequence was a finger chilling 10min 11sec, but you'll be glad to know it's been sped up here to just 2:10. There's no sound on this clip, in case you were wondering if your sound was turned all the way down.</p>
<p>The only feature of interest here is that there's a <a href="http://www.osn.iaa.es/osn_eng.html">radio telescope
at the top of a hill</a>. When riding with that in the background, you half
expect James Bond bad guys with automatic weapons to start chasing you on skidoos. Well, I do.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2695028-8672812151249482901?l=www.janeandrichard.co.uk%2Fblog%2Findex.xml'/></div>Richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13961558038549366975noreply@blogger.com
