I know what you mean and that's whilst sat in my leather arm chair watching it!

Don't care if it takes longer I would have multiple straps, hooks & attachments keeping me from falling even an inch!!!!

A parachute might come in handy, quick way of getting down afterwards!

Another one for the vertigo sufferers.

Anyone know what the soundtrack to this film is please?

What amazes me about stuff like that is that the track (albeit a dilapidated) was built by hand, not by machine. All the steps, all the concrete, all the steel was almost certainly carried up there by hand and assembled by hand up there on the edge of the cliff!

Some construction achievement.

I spent some time a couple of weeks ago looking down a well in someone's garden in North Norfolk. The well was about 2m dia and the water level was 16m down! We measured it with a tape measure. The well wall was constructed from regular bricks right the way down to the bottom, and the cottage which had the well in its garden was approximately 150 years old. Now assuming that the well was constructed at the same time the house was, then the engineering construction achievement of building that well just beggars belief! They did it all by hand!

Amazing that there is no safety wire on the antenna to clip onto, to jumar up it - madness!!!!!!!!!
