Now, whats a bungee like? I've always refused before cause i can't stand the idea of bouncing upside down for ages, but maybe that'll get more sponsors if i go on about how scared i am :lol:
Like the everest idea :lol: :lol:

I'd love to do it too. Me, you and Angie? We could probably get business sponsorship to cover the cost of doing it? :wink:
Might require some training first though!

Bungee is gentler than it looks. It's kinda bouncy, but not bad.
There's this walk around the "foothills" of Everest - you go up to Base Camp (Quite High :shock:, but no oxygen required, think it's still 2/3s the air on the Real Ground. Or sommat). I would love to do it. Costs £1400 & only takes 3 weeks, so not completely beyond the realms of possibility.
Having said that - I read this book about Everest being a "dump". People don't use the disgusting base-camp loos, just the snow :shock: , so the whole place stinks & is all diseasey. :shock: & there's oxygen bottles lying about, empty, & a bit further up the "hill" dead bodies - if you die on Everest, that's where you stay. :shock:

That sounds very scary, dead bodies :shock: :shock:
I was horrified when I read about the dead body bit, but people are so ill from altitude sickness, & exhaustion they don't "notice" it like a regular person would.
Read "into Thin Air" by Jon K********sommat, very, very good book (about the 1996 Everest disasters - loads of people got "summit fever, died or lost body parts)
