A 1ft wide wooden walkway built 700 years ago on a vertical cliff face on a Chinese mountain. It is a popular tourist attraction. I haven't got the head for heights for this but is it one you would like to experience?

Sweet jesus,no thank you :o :o :o

I papped myself just looking at the pictures.

Well there are chains to hold on to, so it would not be that bad! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;)
-
Wow. Amazes me how they could even build it! :o

wouldn't trust a week old "made in china" chain - let alone a 700 y/o one. ;D
-
I wouldn't do that even with safety ropes,, the path is not wide enough ::) ;D ;D
-
Blimey.
We had a thread about a year ago on the forum where a similar pathway but perhaps not so high at El Chorro, Southern Spain (about 60 miles from us) was featured.
The Utube clip showed a (nutter) fellow running the Kings Walkway without a safety line and jumping the sections that had already fallen away.
They are spending 8million euro doing it up!
Here is a clip I could find with my pathetic Internet connection for a flavour. The running one is far better.

Perhaps the OOF should sponsor STEMO to go walking on the whole length of that?
Just an idea to stop his post count climbing again!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)
(Poor Steve!) :D :D :D :D

wouldnt be allowed there must be a weight restriction against fat bastewards, they turned me away :P besides it would take a week to prise his panties off afterwards, something would be sticking them to his bum ::)

China is polluted enough as it is without STEMO and his dodgy sphincter! :o

I think this is the video link you are looking for at 1hr 42 mins long, you have plenty of time to follow the camera looking down. ::) :o

I think I will pass this one by as a holiday jaunt.
If China is a bit far for STEMO, he could try this closer to home version, but with a non-existent path in places and his dodgy sphincter, anybody below will think a massive eagle has just been on a bombing run. :o :o :o :P :P ;D ;D
