Why? - dead easy to work it out:

d = R * arccos(R/(R + h))

d = distance to horizon
R = radius of the Earth
h = height of eye

must be annoying when you drop a screw - it'd take ages to find where it's landed!

I cannot believe what some people are prepared to do for a job. I think in honesty I would rather be unemployed than do that

Yep, most people would just freeze, shut their eyes and wait to be rescued in a situation like that. I know I would!

He is probably harnessed to the chap below him who is harnessed to the frame so should he slip he wont fall very far.

With H&S regulations, It's probably pretty safe.

Still, I wouldn't like to do that, but then again I wouldn't like to wade my way through shi*e in sewers either.

Well, that may be the case, but it did say during the footage that it was free climbing
