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

Imagine getting there and realising that you've left your money in the car.
