trying to ride up fort william on a DH bike is not easy with all that travel
My aged memory might be failing me, but the last time I was at Fort William, I'm positive they had a cable car for getting to the top of the DH track :-)
If it closes for wind but the session's not halted, you get an almighty traffic jam. Also the lift forces you to practice the whole track (afaik) which is useless if the commissaire switches to a shortened course due to conditions, or annoying if you only really want to practice the lower sections.
