In case of emergency, sprout wings and fly

I am sure we have all seen this one in its many guises, but I thought it was a particularly spectacular example given that nobody of historically recorded human height could have reached this pull cord. It's about 10 feet up.

Access win? Calling all adventure service dogs

I visited a cafeteria and store at a venue along Hadrian's Wall. Let us for the moment overlook that they had a gravel path leading to their disabled toilet facility, which then had a step on the door and look at this win for service dogs with a yen for an adrenaline rush.

This large slide is the only edifice for miles around:

And if we zoom in to have a closer look at the sign:

Sign on slide - No dogs except guide dogs

We see that the slide sadly only accepts canines if they are qualified guide dogs. So if you have a guide dog who has always longed for a go on a seven foot slide, set compass for Hexham.
