This adventure involved a day of hiking to see temples, villages and swimming in waterfalls with the locals. Apart from seeing the Orangutans, crocodiles, lush jungle and tasting the amazing local food, the one thing that sticks out from this trip was one of the many day trips with our local guide. Leap forward to our Honeymoon in Borneo, which is an amazing place and you should all go if you get a chance. I felt like a massive failure to be honest. I remember being petrified and had to be slowly winched back down the side with a lot of coaxing. I started off well but when I got halfway up, it started raining, the wind picked up and I just froze. This was real climbing on real rocks, with ropes and everything. I remember being quite scared at the thought of doing the rock climbing but some how managed to pluck up the courage to give it a go. We were offered the chance to try climbing, abseiling and caving. When I was in my early teens, I went on a trip to Cheddar Gorge with the Scouts. On the flip side though I really like mountains, which is totally crazy right? Yellowstone National Park Weird right? I know this sounds pretty odd but having these two things combined is not pleasant, especially when up high. This is also linked to a fear of wind, the blowy weather type of wind! I often feel like I might be actually blown off my feet and up into the air, kind of like the beginning of “The Wizard of OZ”. A dizzy and sometimes paralysing fear where even crossing a motorway bridge can be pretty scary. Ever since I can remember I have had a fear of heights.
