For a couple of years there has been a big wheel on Plymouth Hoe giving views from on high of Plymouth. So far we have never been on this, but a offer of Groupon giving two of us a ride for £6 seemed too good a bargain to miss. It was a 58% reduction in the normal price!
It was good that we could have a capsule to ourselves and we were soon riding up into the air. Once at the top we stayed still for 5 minutes then did 4 revolutions. There was an excellent commentary pointing out landmarks and giving some of the history of Plymouth.
It was good to have done this, but I don't think I would do it again.
