Tree top adventures

For my 40th birthday, Mark, Jac, Simon and Carmel kindly bought me tickets to Hollybank treetops adventure. Unfortunately, their sister/sister-in-law is a WUSS and HATES HEIGHTS - I know I know, but skydiving is different and NOT about heights. For me, the idea of being up so high on a platform is bad enough let alone jumping off! Anyway, Carmel and Simon took the plunge and used the tickets on the weekend. If I could get past the HEIGHT of those platforms and how SKINNY the tree is (check it out - is that the skinniest tree ever???), I would like to do i,t but I know I would be frozen on the platform! Here are the photos anyway...
Carmel not looking at all scared!
Simon - hang on with TWO hands!
I don't think they could have had a windier day to do it either - very brave!

oh you crack me up!! I can't believe you can jump out of a plane, but you can't do that!

Lisa - did you see that skinny tree? It wanted to be a power pole when it grew up but they told it it was too skinny!!!

Simon, don't you know to hold on with both hands!!! Think both Simon and Carmel were very brave - would love to have a go, but not brave enough.
