Imagine the following:

• A big valley
• 6 or more big pylons around the edge of the valley
• A wire extending from each pylon, connecting with all the others in the centre of the valley, several hundred feet in the air
• Another wire hanging down from the connection point
• A small plane-like vehicle at the bottom of the valley, with the wire connected to it
• A big engine in the plane
• A verticle take off
• A crazy flying session all around the valley
• You in the plane

It’s insane sounding, isn’t it?
Surely something like this can’t seriously exist?
Surely Pat wouldn’t want to do this?

Yes it is.
Yes it does.
Yes I would.

Check it out!

Kinda puts the caving and bungee jumping into perspective… although to be honest I’m still most nervous about the bungee.

There’s just something about looking over the edge of a 40 foot drop, knowing that rather than stepping back from the edge I’m going to be willingly falling off it that doesn’t quite sit right with me.

But hey, it’s partly why I’m doing it. And shooting myself around a valley in a mental rocket-on-wires.

What the hell is wrong with me? :-)

Oh and by the way on an unrelated note, there was a classic cars display outside our office today… here’s a couple of them:

Again taken by my excellent Nokia phone. I really do need to get a new camera.
