| Nevis Highwire |
Oh yeah, I took it on and conquered my fears... just! It was sooo scary. I felt fine for the most part even when I was in the chair having my leg harness attached I was not too nervous. But inching out towards the edge of the platform and looking down 134m to the Nevis River made me suddenly very scared. It makes no sense to jump of into mid-air.
I mustered up the courage to jump at the end of the countdown and the jump was even scarier. It's really high so there's plenty of time to pick up speed and it felt like a very, very fast fall - the fall takes 8.5 seconds and you get to just 20m above the river!
The fall was such a rush. I screamed all the way down out of pure excitement & fear, screaming until my lungs were empty!
Sorry there are no photos of my actual jump, the guy I asked to be my photographer took a really good movie clip of the jump instead, but at 75Mb it's too big to email you guys. If anyone (Dan Haley?) knows how to upload a movie onto Picasa using an internet cafe that won't allow me to download software, then I'm all ears.
I'm feeling very extreme today.

You're all man....
Tnanks Dan. Thanks Caz, you're totally right! Cheers bruv - it was more a manly bellow than a scream actually! Mum, I am on my way to Milford Sound now, then tom start to head up to the North island.
Think that's all the queries addressed.
I didn't mean "where do you go from here?" as in destination, more as, what follows such an exciting event!!! Twerp, but still happy to be your mum! xx
