If your scared of heights, this one's not for you  The the place is Spain and the trail is the aproach to the famed Makinodromo climbing section of El Charro. YIKKES!!!

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!

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

I'm scared to even push the button for a second viewing of the video..... 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! |

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

Walking with a camera... in that place!! 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.  |

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! |

couch yeah that is what i actually ment...  that big thing to sit in. Hiking is one thing... that`s easy. Think about the guys who made the trail back in the days... by the looks of the thing the maintenance guys were a lot smarter and stayed at the bottom. |
