Nice walk on a Sunday afternoon.

Ziggy's post about a couple of boats bobbing around in the swell reminded me of this little Sunday afternoon walk in Andalucía.

This is EXCELLENT!!! but it made my stomach turn watching it, I get dizzy standing on a chair!!!!

Now, that's a walk !
One I could NEVER do. My crazy head would never allow it.
But maybe my head's not so crazy.
Thanks for the link - and the vicarious "pleasure" of the walk.

 

That was insane

I've stood on top of Wells Cathedral, but I wouldn't stand on that.

Nice one Kindred.

 

Clearly Not A Route to Be Taken Coming Home From The Local Pub ," The Safe And Sound ".

 

I had vertigo and palpitations just watching that. At least until I noticed something a few minutes in and then I calmed down a fair bit

 

Madness!!!!!!! my hands went clammy just watching it.
How the hell did they build that path?

 

Explain please!! What did you notice that I missed???

Val

 

Probably that there was a wire to hold on to but would you really feel safer????

 

A couple of friends of mine did it last summer; they're in the first pic.









Starting is the most difficult bit. You have to climb along the red route marked on the piccie underneath. You're not allowed to go across on the railway bridge. (fine of €6,000 if you do! )





When you finish (which is the start, as you have to return the way you came). most people abseil down.

The track was built for a Spanish king to view a water storage facility.

 

That's the one. I've abseiled down vertical rock faces (although not as high as the ones in the vid), and off a viaduct, yet I'm terrified of heights.

The last time I went abseiling I couldn't bring myself to get anywhere near the edge of the cliff. The guide was surprised because I'd done the other ones ok. He asked if I was ok and I replied, "I will be if you chuck me the rope". Once suitable harnessed I just breezed over to the edge and off I went, no bother. Its not so much the fear of heights, its the fear of falling. Once you know you can't fall it all becomes ok.

 

Still think it takes a LOT of trust in the wires!!!! :th_scifD36:

kindredspirit, this was a wonderful exclusive experience caught on video that I thank you so much for sharing with us. I could never walk along that path. I would faint after like five meters. I am therefore so pleased that I can enjoy the experience from my chair. Am I allowed to post it in an Italian Gardening Forum? Thank you if you will say yes.

 

Hi Miraflores,

It's not my video. It's one that's publicly available on You Tube so you can post it anywhere you want.
