World's most dangerous roads?
Just got sent this website. I think some of the pictures have been on SN before (especially the russian mudbath) but it's a very comprehensive site.
Danger!
There's the Russian highway (maybe 1000 miles?) :
and for the petrolheads...
the Bolivian one (43 miles)....
and the Chinese tunnel (1.2km)...
And a bit of mountain hiking after you're through with that:
Don't have time to read everything, but I loved the last lines of the hiking page:

Laura grinned as she pointed to the Third Wisdom of Tao:
"He who knows when to stop does not find himself in trouble."
Amen to that.

The roads look dangerous but nothing compared to that bloody hike up the Chinese mountain.
Found this
YouTube - Mount Huashan
That feeling you get when you know your too high? I got that just from the photos.
No, No and NO!

mountain climbs pics, are less dangerous than they look, its called via ferrata, there is now one in england if anyone fancies it, you clip into the chain, and move along unclipping then reclipping beyond the bolts. scary if you are afraid of heights though. but great fun.

You caught me there Olly 
Its different when you are in something which is moving-don't know why. First time I went up in an army helicopter you coud see through the floor which was perspex and when he was hovering I felt quite unsafe.
When I was flying though-the lower the better as far as I was concerned, but I was a hooligan!
