I hate this thread. Teenage dreams lost.
I remember first reading about BASE jumping after seeing a James Bond film in nineteen eighty-humbug and it just wasn't a reality I could chase

I'm
old busy enough now that I have to accept that I'll never have the time to gain enough experience before jumping off anything high & static unless I have a couple of bungee ropes attached to me...
Although my next of kin will probably be worried enough that I enjoy that!
