Love flying, in big & small a/c (as pax, not a pilot!), have done bungee jumping, parascending, balloon flights etc. Enjoyed all of it. Don't like very tall ladders (worst thing I saw was Fred Dibnah, steeplejack, leaning backwards two thirds the way up a huge chimney to clamber over a bit of scaffolding), narrow parapets, the thought of walking round on the top of a very tall chimney.

Wouldn't do parachuting unless I had to. Seems to me that I don't mind heights in the slightest if I believe I'm firmly attached to something. Otherwise everything starts to get twitchy. Mrs. B&t really really hates cliff edges where the ground gradually increaases in steepness until you get to the vertical drop. She's always worried she'll start walking on the flattish bit, then won't be able to stop once it gets steeper.....
