+ThePetersTrio Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I assume this would qualify as a difficulty level 5 cache hide. Quote Link to comment
+PrincessBTigress Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Sweet!! If theres a cache there I would bet I would be doing it alone while my family stayed behind talking about how insane I am. Quote Link to comment
+Lotho Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Wow..id love to go there...except i wouldn't be able to..if you slip your a dead man! Quote Link to comment
+zoltig Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Cool vid. I would think by GC standards there would not be a cache there if you by into Wikipedia's note: "The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 ft) in width, and is over 700 feet (200 m) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the walkway have completely collapsed and have been replaced by a beam and a metallic wire on the wall. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway." Still...

+StephenTravels Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I saw this a few days ago in the regional forums (Northwest). There's actually an Earthcache located there. It's an awesome video nonetheless! Quote Link to comment
+Confucius' Cat Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I would take the railroad to the top... Norfolk & Way. Quote Link to comment
+goofy&grumpy Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I think I may lose my lunch just thinking about that. did the guy have the camera hooked to a helmet or was he holding it or what? crazy! Quote Link to comment
+ea6bflyr Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) The guy who made that video is either FEARLESS or STUPID. I'll let you decide. You wouldn't catch me up there without some sort of safety device. -ea6bflyr Edited May 4, 2008 by ea6bflyr Quote Link to comment
+joranda Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Haven't I seen this on a nothere thread? Quote Link to comment
+critterator Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 From a log on the earthcache page (the earcache seems to be at the bottom) ...I also felt like doing it, but I met a group of 4 security guys in a Landrover twice, first on my way to the old railway bridge and later on my way back, who told me not to try it and that everybody who did would get a € 6.000,- fine. The path looks fun but it seems you have to be sneaky (and brave/stupid/carzy) , with anchors in some of the sketchier areas (though the anchors are probably equally sketchy). It would be pretty cool if it ever got restored. Quote Link to comment
+DaFunkyFrogs Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I could have sworn I posted to this thread a couple times, and now those posts are gone. What happened??? Quote Link to comment
+Team GeoBlast Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 El camino del Rey Wonder if there is any caches here What I found amazing about this is the guy doing it went over those pipes and somehow filmed it. Quote Link to comment
+scuba dude Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Even though the views were amazing, that it just plain stupid. When you see the concrete crumbling and falling away and still walk on it, that's stupid. Now having said that, I think it would be kinda cool to go do. I guess I have a little bit of stupid in me.
