[Leica] Nathan's PAD 25/5/2021: slacklining

[Douglas Barry]

That's a great catch in the second one, Nathan.
Even though I did a bit of diving in my youth, I don't think I'll be 
venturing onto a slackline anytime soon!

While waiting for the tram next to the Postiguet beach at the Plaza Puerta del Mar, I spotted some guys doing an activity I had not seen before. My daughter informs me that it is called “slacklining” and is apparently a thing. It certainly provided me with some entertainment while waiting.
