Themoocher 231 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 They come from all over the world. To see it. I'm not an egineer, but apparently it's like porn to them haha I'll get a pic of the kelpies one day. Haven't been to see them properly myself yet. http://www.thehelix.co.uk/discover-helix/the-kelpies/ I like the look of those Kelpies. Ony seen them from the road but they look good. They whole area around there is such an improvement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Only seen them from the road myself mate. In fact might just head down there later for a walk. Certainly have revamped the area. Canal heritage seems to be really popular. Hope a lot of British people decide to holiday in the uk. We have a really nice country. Guess it comes down to weather. On the downside , yesterday they were taring the tow path. When got home, the dog was acting really weird. f***ing pads all covered in tar 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
