Someone posted this on the dark side forums. Im sharing it here



Wow! But makes me feel a bit sick watching it because Im terrified of heights.
I dont think theres any chance of a cache up there though, its officially closed to public...but that doesnt stop tourists going up there (and occasionally falling off).

Yikes. I've seen that a couple of times and every time, I think the same thing: It's begging for someone to re-edit it with this music and a crowbar hud-wobbling across the screen 'Tis just like that section where you come out onto the cliff-face...

Is it similair to the sections of walkway shown on the classic war film Von Ryan's express

when the POWs are repairing the track in the mountains to get their train across the border they walk round the mountain on sections of walkway like this that then get blown up by the Luftwaffe.

thanks for reminding me of that great film

Just watching it I've got the shakes. I think I need some valium.

Superb link!!! Reminded me of Tombraider

Could I do it? I'd certainly want to, but please tell me that you're clipped in the whole time? The normal sections would then be doable, but the bits walking over the bare metalwork

Some of the sensible looking people that the camera guy passed were clipped on but I think whoever was filming it was walking through way too fast to be clipped, especially some of the later walking on the bar bits, he didn't skip a beat
