    A few people tried to call my bluff on last week's pinned comment, which promised this video. Here you go! The real star of this video is the GoPro 9: I have no idea how it managed to keep stabilisation through some of the jolts, particularly those turns. To be clear, it's attached to the bucket!

    When the bucket travels through the trees I thought, "this could almost be a rainforest!"
    Then I remembered that this part of England actually once had rainforests.
    Can we get a video about the rainforests of England?
