HOLY CRAP!!! That's not for me!!  :o :o

What's the Problem Sarge!

Sarge,
I hear there's a bike trail alongside that route !
You game ?
 ;D

 :o :o :o very scary road  :o this known as, the landscape is very beautiful  :o

The whole time I was watching that vid, I kept expecting to see that it was Hans Rey on a mountain bike instead of a hiker!

i love vtt extreme video   8) 8) those guys rocks  :o :o

Talking about scared of heights...  :o while watching this video I was even leaning to the opposite side of the deep valley...  ::)  ;D

Who the f**k builds those paths???

That reminds me of freaky dreams I have once in a while in which I get to a location, but can't get back because I'm not dumb enough to travel it twice!

Um, no way! I get vertigo looking off the railing of a four story building.

i was there last year!  We stayed in a place called Antequera and drove here and then onto the Rhonda.  When we got to the top you could look down into the lake and see huge (and i mean at least 6ft) catfish, they looked like sharks.

and here is the view from the top

Uh, Lids....you did THAT hike?? :o :o :o  I'm scared to even push the button for a second viewing of the video.....  Nice picture!!

nope do i  look mad, if you look in the video you can see a road on the other side of the valley, we drove to the top :)  even this was scary due to a lack of railings.  We did comment at the time about climbing the path, but glad we didn't after watching that video!

AH, the ROAD....waaaay better! ;D

Cool video, that looks like fun! But those chasm crossings on rail are pretty crazy. Not a place to dick around.

OK thanks for that. i have to put on a new diper now...

and that is why i keep all my hiking confined to the fridge and back to the cough.

Hiking is one thing... that`s easy. Think about the guys who made the trail back in the days...  :o

Walking with a camera... in that place!! :o

Talking of vertigo, I'm not sure that I would step on to this rock. It's called Kjæragbolten and is "close" to where Trond lives. 1000 meters straight down.

I think I just passed out.   :-X

Replace the R with a space in the name of the country... That'd be my response if you told me to stand on that rock! :o

How can you live near there and not get into base jumping?   :P  :D

Mat, it's surprisingly easy...   ;D ;D

BTW 1000meters is 3280 ft....

Found another Vertigo place.... The Pulpit Rock...  just 604 meters down to the fjord... (1981 ft.)
Imagining dangling the feet of the cliff... check out youtube if you want to get queasy

You think?  ;D

I miss that part of Norway... Been up there a few times and love the view. Talking about base jumping, a very good friend of mine is quite active and the area mentioned above here is world class. Here is a few videos of him having fun;

Trond, I guess you know which building this is;
