Hello all you Hivers,
I am taking up the 30 day Blog challenge set by and pointed out to me by
. Today is Day 5.
What are you afraid of?
Well I am not a massive fan of heights but only in the sense that I am not a big fan of falling and not so much the falling but the sudden stop at the end of the fall. Ladders, balconies, cliffs that kind of thing I really don't like as i can almost feel the pull of gravity trying to suck me down to my certain doom.
But I absolutely love flying. One of my favourite things to do is jump into the Gyrocopter with and go flying. We have been 8000ft up in an open cockpit over a live volcano! How's that for a slice of fried gold and loved every minute of it. I've even had a few lessons and its the coolest thing ever.
The way I see it, the machine was designed to fly and it flies. It's tried and tested and it's solid engineering based on flight principles that work. It works. was trained to fly and he's a damned good pilot and I have trust in him. he can really throw the machine about and it's incredible what the little thing can do. I am not designed to fly and gravity will cause me to fall from the ladder or over the balcony or trip over the cliff and it will be a pretty crap ending. At best very ouchie. Gravity works!!
So I don't think it's actually heights I am afraid of its falling and a hard landing and my imagination is probably too vivid as I can visualise the worst happening every time I climb a ladder or am on a high balcony.
