Billy Alexander is bringing the 112-foot long SkyWalk to the Skellig Coast after getting the idea while trekking across bridges in the Himalaya mountains in Nepal.
"Some are made by rope, some are actually made by bamboo, some are just pieces of wood. I always thought it was a real trial crossing over the river, a little bit of trepidation, a bit of fear in getting to the other side," he said.
"I came back and made a couple of enquiries about installing one, that was about a year ago."
