Hope that link works because it is amazing what can be done with a few bits of wood , rope and knowledge.

Yes, that's good! The winding mechanism is pretty impressive.
Here's how they do it in the States - again, the lifting gantry is also an impressive bit of kit.

Having seen cars go through the ice, I would have been bricking it walking about on it, but these guys seem completely relaxed, they must know a thing or two about the way ice behaves?
