Another Challenge for Lee to display some bravado and for Lindsay to squeal like a girl. Both of us were dressed in kilts and as true Scotsmen we were going to be attempting a 70 metre bungy. This was to be done a mere 45 minutes after the petrifying experience of having Satan's serpents thrown on us.
With Lee having done this before but not with bearing his crown jewels and Lindsay being terrified of everything but food... would we succeed?
Ian, the owner of the Jungle Bungy camp told us that the worst thing a person can do is needlessly go to the top of the bungy tower and then come back down. One of us had to go up to watch the other jump or not jump - then had to come back down to go all the way back up again. Let us tell you this, looking up - 70 metres looks like a hop, skip and jump distance from the ground - easy. However, looking groundwards from 70 metres high makes that almost-certain-death leap look like a fall from a cruising Boeing 747 across the Atlantic.
One of us went home with a burst blood vessel in his eye and the other feeling sick. Use your imagination here. Needless to say though, it was fun for one and petryfying for the other.
