Nice flight Alex.  I like the almost-perfect shadow of the Avata on the rock at around 15 seconds

I was there 17 years ago and have a very fond memory as a friend of mine turned over his car and we spent some time putting her back on weels

What an interesting archaeological find.    Nicely documented Alex.

A bit of ingenuity involved in getting the car back on its wheels.

Lovely scenery and an interesting site

Oh wow!  What an episode?  Which one was you?  Or were you holding the camera?  You've maybe changed a lot in 17 years

I did not change much (red arrow) for reference - the guy whose car was tumbled (near me) is 2.2 m tow
And I was operating the winch on my car so I am behind the scene

It was kind of normal at this time as we were going to the worst places - but I escaped such endeavor - Just helping

My word!  He's a big lad, as we would say
And yes, I would have recognised you in that photo

Nothing like living on the "edge".    Just glad nobody got hurt.

Well, I obviously was far from the edge all the time as I survived Offrouding, paragliding, horse riding, and many more crazy things I was doing all my life

First time I met him he was seating I was standing and we where on par

A bit like me and my wife, even today

Well I'm certainly glad you did.  So far the most riskiest thing I've done is cave diving.

You reminded me of two student time events, first - we saw the longest cave in Bulgaria (if I remember correctly >25 km) but the entrance was a small hole where You could crall on all 4 for 20+ m.  and we decided to give it a try - group of 15+ students - I remember panic tooking first entered and they tried to turn around and push followers outside (we where totally unprepared even without light ;) ). And second, was in Devil Throat cave where inside the cave there 30+ m waterfall (they say it was way to hell Orpheus took to find his wife ) and it was closed but we pretended to be a speleological research group and the guard let us in again with little to no preparation - but somehow we survived - I told You I was lucky ;)

Great flight Alex.

Wow, you were very adventurous and super lucky.  

Very nice one Alex!
