don’t go to landmarks if you’re gonna do this crap, there’s signs everywhere not to climb over the wall for your own safety and the safety of the ecosystem DONT FECKING DO THIS
Even if their own lives are so worthless that they’d risk them like this, they also endanger the lives of rescue crews sent to recover their remains.

We head west when lockdown ended. There was fierce wind blowing, plenty of people jumped the wall. I know the wind was blowing inland, but it was still crazy.

I was sat on that ledge when I visited in the early 90s. Took some analogue pictures.

Back in the day we used to sit on that ledge with a picnic.
Often sat on the top of a scaffold lunch on a building site too.
A fall from either height would kill you.
Nobody ever fell though.

When you get those news reports of people dying in these areas keep in mind of this scenario. People are stupid and Charles Darwin’s theory is real.

Not as a proud Clareman that is what your supposed to do on a cliff.
One of my best memories in life is to be at the base of the cliffs at low tide and see the random rockfall explosions

My partner and I did the same. Mindlessly. In the heat of the moment. And I’ve been having the occasional nightmares ever since. The “what if” type of angsty dreams.
I would never do it. The wind can become very strong up there in seconds and a single wrong step is enough.

That wall isn’t that old. Back in the 90s there was no cliff side restrictions. Other than a few warning signs, it was just assumed humans would use their brains.
wander-and-wonder on
Was in Portugal recently and was completely shook by the people taking photos on the ledges at Ponte de Piadade but doing this at a site where it is actually restricted is just irresponsible and unfair. I just want to say to tourists who do this to leave us all alone. We’ll have all our spots fenced off eventually if people don’t snap out of it.

I’ve been there plenty of times and there’s no real advantage going so close to the edge. Unnecessary risk.

I mean it’s personal reponsibility, they’re only endangering themselves. People base jump, free solo climb etc… I wouldn’t, but people should be able to take risks with their own lives.

I get being this mad over someone potentially endangering other people’s lives, but potentially endangering your own life is fine with me. I won’t feel sympathy or anger over someone climbing the wall. Same way I won’t feel anything if someone were to fall free climbing or doing something else potentially self endangering. 🤷

Back in the noughties in secondary school we went on a trip along some cliffs, you could literally look down and see how dangerous it was. Whoever thought it was a good idea to take a bunch of teenagers, including some who were acting the eejet, definitely shouldn’t be allowed to organised school outings.

I think you’re the knobhead actually. They’re natural cliffs. The arbitrarily placed man made wall is only a recent addition. People can make their own risk benefit calculations.

Really the sign should read “risk falling off at your own peril, but expect absolutely no one to have to go and recover your remains as a result. “
People like these are the reason ‘’do not drink’’ is put onto bleach bottles…

What, they’re grand, far enough from the edge. We did that too before the wall went up.

You’d be better off minding your own business and concentrating on staying in your safe space behind the wall where you can see fuck all.
Don’t forget your mask and booster shots.

When i was last there, God i think it’s 23 years ago, there was no wall you could just walk over and look over the cliff edge. I never did though, as i thought it was nuts to do so. I wouldn’t put that much trust in the ground beneath me, not to give way that close to the edge. The stuff of nightmares
