That place blew my mind when I went there. Nothing can prepare you for the vastness of it all and also how close you can get to the edge!!!

Was going to walk out to the lower edge but thought I better not!!

Whilst we are on the subject of scary, does anyone else find the following picture scary at all?

Nice picture,

But why would you find it scary ??? Unless you live in the dark ages and dont know that "only the tip of the iceberg" is a common expression for a reason !!! :D :D

I'd love to go and have a look over the edge of the canyon, I'd be useless at my job if I didnt like heights !!! I had my trainee Dan in tremours because I was larking about, 9 storeys up the other day - I kept doing the "crane" stance from Karate Kid on the edge above him while he was getting something from the van !!! :D :D :D

Andycaca - I know what you mean, jo and I hate dark deep water ..... if that makes sense, when we can't see the bottom we get the heebey geebies, we went swimming off the cliff's in kos, I remember swimming out to the edge of a shelf, you litterally dropped off into the depths .....


And I would find it very difficult to walk out on that walk way.
