That looks ace. One to do before I die I think (perhaps not much of a gap in between those events, looking at it!)

I've shown you this pathway before luv. About 2 yrs ago IIRC when I was pondering through the 28 days later site(amongst others).

Still I reckon I'd have a go....but only if you go first!

It's all relative. To most people it's a horror show, but to some it would be fun. If anyone is interested try Googling Via Ferratas in the Dolomites and you find more stuff like this. I can highly recommend them. Ibby and I spent a week doing Via Ferrattas last year. It was great fun and gets you into some fantastic positions. The path in the clip is in El Chorro in southern Spain and was built for a hydro-electric project. As Luckypants said, it's safe because of the cables to clip into, just like on Via Ferratas. I suspect that the main users of the path, rockclimbers, don't bother with the cable though, other than using it as a handrail.

I'm fairly sure that this path was closed as some girl fell to her death in 1999. Can't find the article at the moment (cos I haven't looked )
