WATCH THIS VIDEO.

I posted this recently but the ZERO response means few if 
anyone has looked at it.
BECAUSE It's the sort of thing that people have to post ooh 
and ah / not me / how brave / how silly  / ... responses to.

Its very worth looking at. The music is said to be good too. 
I like it reasonably, but the video is highly stunning even 
without sound.
Such bravery and stupidity and scenic beauty and danger all 
rolled in together is unusual. People die there occasionally 
doing what the cameraman is doing. And yet, a sprightly 
octogenarian might be able to do it as well.

Download seems to have become much slower than before and 
stops and starts - maybe it's become very popular. Not 
surprising if it has.

I read that because of people dying here (doing this) they 
dynamited the access way, but you can still get in via live 
railway tunnels. This is of course illegal - the fine for 
railway access is 3000 Euros (or 6000 depending on which 
site you read). In the 1970's you could apparently run this 
"track" and the handrails were largely intact. Not now !!!. 
(You could certainly run PART of the track. Maybe even 
sometimes all of it. But odds are that many who tried would 
not manage to run all of it.)( Have I persuaded you to look 
at it yet ?)
