Getting into our canteen at half 9 is probably more difficult than that glorified high ropes course.

Take a look at this clip. German Climber Daniel Ahnen on the Camino Del Rey. He doesn't clip on at any point, just balances along the crumbling walkway with a huge drop below.

No tea shop at the end but a good soundtrack!

Not for a cuppa but if there was a pub at the top selling McEwans Pale ale then I would be all for it.

My beer derived cape of invulnerability would help me on the way down thumbup
