I saw that video, a while back, and it made me feel that i wished i had taken up rock climb or something similar, those views where great. I suppose that was where the saying "live life on the edge" came from - quite literally by the looks of it Thumbs Up


I've never been to the Grand Cannon (or USA) the horse shoe does look like you would have a great view from it though Smile

A friend went there and did the helicopter tour, said the pilot took it down to ground level at full speed and then all of a sudden the canyon just opened up below him and then the helicopter just dived into it. Said it was a proper Censored clenching thrill ride

Yeah, but this is in the US.... litigation nation and all that, I'm surprised they'd let people up there, especially as there's actually no walkway in places, just a metal pole to walk along Shocked


It's actually in Spain, near Malaga and it's apparantly illegal to enter the walkway and carries a 6,000 - 30,000 Euro fine Shocked Guess they really don't want you going there!

Awsome bit of filming though and the sountrack fits brilliantly Thumbs Up 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

It looks such an amazing place - They should repair it and charge for access to recoup some of the cost. It would be a huge attraction.

It must have been a hell of a task for the workers that built it in 1901 Shocked I wonder how many of them ended up as pavement pancakes 700ft below Confused 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
