I just watched href="http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/J/jump_london/index.html"
target="_blank">Jump London on channel 4 and it was fantastic.
One of the best programs I’ve seen for a long time. The guys on the program
seemed utterly fearless and that something I find immensely impressive. Not in
a stupid, “I’m invincible” way but just that they knew they could make
the jumps so there was no need to worry about the consequences. I have no
desire to hurl myself around the rooftops but it’s amazing to think that these
guys do and that it’s all they do. A life-long game of follow the
leader.

It especially appealed to me as since I read href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0751523925/qid=1063658520/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_0_1/026-2657368-8948435"

I’m in London. I also look at the rooftops from the train and there are clear
pathways across many of them. I wonder who uses the paths and what for and what
it would be like to run about above the rest of London without being
noticed.
