    Hi Carol

    True story: I never used to be susceptible (sp?) to vertigo
    until I watched The Matrix on telly some time ago. (Early
    scene with the mobile phone during the failed escape from
    the office.) These days, whenever I see a TV view looking
    down from a skyscraper I get a wobbly feeling in my stomach.

    I've yet to test myself IRL.

    Helen's pic didn't worry me too much, FWIW.

    Not sure if it's real vertigo, but I've always hated
    heights as far back as I can remember - to the extent that
    when I rode my upright I used to walk down really steep
    hills for fear of tipping over the bars. Another reason to
    love my trike :-)

    Last autumn we went to Provence for a holiday (not with the
    trikes, though we hope to go back with them this year,
    finances permitting) and we visited a castle with two linked
    gate towers. We bought our tickets, whereupon the guide lady
    took us into the first tower, and explained that we'd have
    to climb up to the top of this one, walk across the roof and
    go down the other tower to get out again. Then she left and
    locked the door. I can see why they do it that way - the
    stairs are very narrow and it would be a bad idea to have
    people going up and down the same set
    - but crossing that roof was *not* a good experience for me.

    The thing I didn't like about it was that you can't see
    where the slide thingy goes to - it just seems to vanish in
    mid-air. Ugh.

    Years of skiing, and being a really rubbish downhill
    cyclist, mean that I truly have No Fear when confronted by
    seriously scary downhill bike courses, but I haven't a hope
    in hell of actually riding them without a wipeout.

    I also have the thighs to ride back up again (subject
    to my lousy breathing, cardio-vascular condition and
    BMI of a hippo)
