Thank you! Yes got it and entered! 

So I have decided to try anything to get to the hallowed fields, so if anyone hears of anything please let me know  I can get there early if necessary! I'm not too good at heights though but I'd conquer that fear if the only job I could get was sitting up top of the ribbon tower keeping an eye on folk up there!! 

Thank you all sooo sooo much for your support in these ticketless times xxx

I conquered my fear by doing a bungy jump and skydive so surely the ribbon tower would be a walk in the Park  ( literally )

Crazy ... but not mental ... it was a case of mind over matter ... and for the bungy being strapped to an attractive Danish girl helped ... agreed to it after several bottles of wine

If you don't mind it doesn't matter

Nah, definitely not for me that bungee lark. Makes me feel weird thinking about it! But well done you for doing it!!!

Did a bridge jump in Bratislava once. Instead of a stretchy cord it's a fixed rope; you walk away from the fixing point a bit, up on the parapet and over!  Acts as a pendulum, so you then swing back towards the fixing point. Over the Danube. Fucking brilliant!

I've done the skydiving thing, and I'm not afraid of heights, but I can't ever see me doing a bungee. If it all goes wrong you'll hit the ground before you can try to sort stuff out! At least with a parachute you have a reserve, or you have time to kiss your sorry ass goodbye.

The sky dive was just such a beautiful location ... over Glaciers/ mountains / the sea .... and the bungy at the home of bungy ....kawaru bridge in Nz so I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by as this was a trip of a lifetime and was about being a chance to discover things id never thought of doing in my life .. and would probably never consider doing again ... kind of like Glastonbury in way

No. Feet and ground, there's a reason they work together so well.

I mean yes, bungee tie me to a Danish girl and find me new accommodation when MrsCJ finds out, but the whole leaving the earth bit is not for me.

That may actually be nice due to the absolute heatwave we're going to have.

As a wise man once said to me when watching a bungee, there's only two things that fall out of the sky; birdshit and idiots. And I'm neither.

well I guess its about overcoming things in life .... that was a fear I was able to overcome and it was one hell of a feeling once I did it .... the adrenaline rush was incredible .... not for everyone I would agree but the word idiot is maybe a little strong

Feet and ground, Rodney. Feet and ground. 

Obvs in the style of Derek Trotter! 

Totally agree though, feet and ground. And I've been to NZ!

You know how exciting I am to be at the 'local' in Pilton for a few weeks - even tracked the walking route from our camping fields to Pilton in google maps - I'm ready :-)

Birlliant - I've been known to stop on the hill to east campervans in the early morning leaning on a post declaring I can't go any further ...... what hope do I have on Shop lane - I'll check tonight :-) ... I've googled mapped my way all around the farm lanes , goodness knows what I'm going to do when all this is over :-)

My boss dropped a bombshell on me earlier... 

We're expecting some important unannounced visitors in the near future - they're months overdue... but if they haven't come by the time Glastonbury comes around he might rescind my leave! ?

I have every confidence it won't come to that but it's still scary.
