150ft High pics

[Kay Bell]

Let me explain. Near my house there is a monument that is 150ft high, has 226 steps and you can clibmg to the top up the spiral staircase. I have climbed several times, some for fun, and twice for charity events. Once was for a 1000ft zipslide off the edge and the other an abseil. We had american friends come visit and we took them to the top. These are the pics I took. Enjoy. P.S I DO NOT like climbing this, almost s*i* myself everytime but still I always manage it lol

Basically Anna they strap you to a peice of hiking rope, then attach it to a 1000ft long other peice of rope, then hoy you off the end!! And whhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! There is a moment when the ropes dont meet like when you first go off so you feel like you're going to fall, then they connect and you get a chance to change your trousers LOL

This was off the top of this monument as was the abseil. I done them for Anthony Nolan Trust and try and do something every year for them, always the crazy things lol

Ill try and get a pic of the monument so you can all get an idea of the surroundings and area as it sits on a hill by itself so looks even higher!!

Hi

So you found the lookout place from the cattle rustling days in the days Rob Roy etc

Only joking :D

So you dont like heights brave person doing it

Well done esp the Charity things

Ed;)

[Kay Bell]

Thank you Ed, I can honestly say if it hadn't been for charity I really dont think I could have pulled it off, I just kept thinking, if you walk down those stairs think of everyone who you'll let down, all the money you'll have lost so I done it!! Very scary and everytime I keep saying right that's the last time I'm not doing it again but I always do, I'm a sucker for a challenge!!

[Nocturnal]

They're good pics, looks pretty scary! Do you have larger versions of them? If you'd like, I can alter those pics for you to bring out the sky/grass etc? Let me know what you think. :)

Why not?! Give it a shot and we'll see what they're like. I do have them larger but unfortunately posted them in medium as I didnt want to make em too big but on hindsight I should have done them large and I just couldn't be bothered to hunt through and make them all bigger, I know I know, that's terrible lol. Feel free to muck around with them, I have copies anyways :D If you can, make em bigger too?

[Nocturnal]

Tell you what, we'll try it on just one first. Send the biggest version you have of the second shot to Boost_Addict@hotmail.com and I'll see what I can unlock from it tomorrow :)
