Thread: Walk of Death

Thanks Mick. Great video. First thing I thought was 'fancy putting in the safety line'; then 'fancy building the path in the first place'.

Cheers

PS: some great images from a Google search here "el camino del rey" - Google Search

So, how did they get that footage? Head-mount cam? Too steady I reckon.

This one's not bad either

apparently the guy held the camera with one hand so did the walk with one arm only!

I'm not even going to open that Mick--

Wow. Incredible path and landscape. That guy certainly has some brass in negotiating some of those broken walkways. Balancing on what looks like an old railroad track!

I'd love to check out this place one day. Where is it and what was it built for? Kind of looks like some kind of aqueduct system and a network of paths to get around it??

There are some very big chunks of "path" missing.

....built as an access pathway for aqueduct construction in (I think) the 1920s - became known as "the way of the king" after the then king of spain used it during opening ceremonies
