    Anyone ever walked along one (or more) of these?

    Yes, I have ridden the one in Spain. You can also see a beautifully filmed scene of Rowan Sorrell riding it in Find. I got him out of bed after about thirty minutes sleep for that and dragged Mark from here along too… He was quite grumpy that morning 🙂

    Will throw in this well known pic of Peaty and Hans Rey at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland even though it’s not strictly what you’re asking for.

    I seem to recall an article a few editions back in STW about a cliff path in Switzerland?? that two blokes rode down.

    Am I right in remembering that the Peaty/Hans path fell down a couple of years ago?

    To be fair, I don’t really see why people are surprised when sea cliffs erode. What did they expect?

    The article in the OP was structured poorly – after seeing the madness of the chinese one, the rest looked fairly meh.

    I remember seeing a video ages ago of some mountain/cliff path that looked amazing. I can’t remember where it was, but it looked a bit like the Chinese ones in the OP’s link. Except the paths in some places were seriously sketchy. Like just a rail that you had to edge along while holding onto the mountain.

    I’ve probably exaggerated it in my memory, but anyone know where it could be?

    Giddy Edge above Matlock Bath had me squeaking one hung over Boxing Day. It’s a walking path only, and is one way for a very good reason!

    Or maybe it was El Chorro? But either way…

    Was dodgy in 1995, must be shocking now. Girlfriend at the time didn’t enjoy the trip much.
