        Blimey those are scary.

        Highest thing i've stood on was the top of Well's Cathedral, unfortunately I didn't have my camera.

        :ideaIPB: I'll e mail my colleague to see if she's got any.

        Next scariest thing was Dunster Castle.

              Uuugh, couldn't do a bungee jump after seeing that video of the poor soul jumping off a building, when calculating the rope length no one realised that the building didn't have a thirteenth floor, so it was a whole floor too long.

              No, thats not an invitation to post that video:paladin:

                  I've been up there and on that floor numerous times, and it is a little scarey, they claim it can hold an elephant.

                  There is a cool restaurant that rotates while you eat up there, and up above the floor thats in the utube clip, there is an enclosed sky pod that you can take pics from.

                  Oh and the elevator on the way up....has a glass floor!!

                  Here's some info.....http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...r8jTBA&usg=AFQjCNE-jDnQjBDvgCM6wZEwjaZT6pN5hQ
