If I were in better physical condition, going up would be a shot I
might take...but...just bugger having to go back down again...just...no. You'd have to get a hot air balloon or something to pick me up. Not a helo though...I don't fancy getting zapped...

Lighthouses arent a problem for me, those are usually solid looking, and feeling, structures. Steel tower like that one, though, are more akin to being on a swingset. Then again, I enjoy being out on the sea in a storm so I guess logic doesnt really apply as to why I find this scary.

Reminds me of a photograph that my old Doctor used to have on his wall, it was of the base of the Needles lighthouse off the Isle of Wight with a large wave crashing over it...beautiful.
What I'd love to do, although I have to be honest and admit that although I say it, if actually confronted with it, I
don't honestly know how I would react...but I would love to do a paradrop from a C-47. Just to get an idea of what those brave and wonderful men went through on the prelude to D-day and Market Garden.
