Introducing The Travelator!

Thanks to all who sent in Gavin Allen's Daily Mail piece on the Scholss Auel Golf Club's £175,000 "travelator" to help golfers move up a hill.

The 500ft travelator does away with the need for members to hire a golf buggy.

This kind of flat moving track may once have used as a gruelling final obstacle on the TV show Gladiators, but it is used to much more sedate effect here, allowing the club's members to enjoy the benefits of walking through the pretty woodland area in the North West of Germany.

The hi-tech piece of kit remains stationary when not in use and is only activated when players step onto the track.

Players are even still able to use it in the winter months because the travelator is waterproof and can be used in all weathers

Now I know some of you think this is a sad sign, but did you look at the size of that hill the travelator is moving them on?
