El Caminito del Rey (The King's pathway) is a ruined path along the walls of a gorge in Spain. After four people died at the turn of the millennium, the local government closed off the entrances. However this intrepid filmmaker and raving lunatic decided to walk on the wild side. Few vids make us as feel as sick as this.

theres a guy I know of on the forum www.28dayslater.co.uk (http://www.28dayslater.co.uk) who has done this path wearing all the right gear, his name on the forum it steppinglightly.

There is a whole report on it with much more impressive photos etc.

He has done some really crazy stuff.

Utterly breathtaking place, but I don't like the bits where he has to work on a pipe or what ever it is, eeeep!

Btw, why are there two big holes on the floor next to each other at 1:19? Just more shoddy building work?

Looks ace. They should repair it! What a great way to see places like that.

hmmmm you folks need to try a via ferrata, will make you pooh your pants (did me and I'm usually ok with heights). The new(ish) one in the Durance gorge at Argentierre is pretty scarey. Apparently some of the Italian ones are really scary!:smt009
