Massive well done for pushing thru and finishing. I too suffer from an irrational fear of falling . I have idea where it's come from but it's now here 😢 and I also understand the fear of others falling. For me that is actually greater than me falling . one thing that has helped is walking sticks/poles. I push myself thru and have finished some amazing walks. Probably down to the amazing friends that support me along the way. Please don't let it stop you and the reward is greater than the risk x

Hi I just subscribed. I had a similar thing happen about 40 years ago, I was at Filey with my then husband and my son who was about 4 years old. I was so bad I couldn't stand up my son was terrified seeing me like that. Some people next to us phoned somewhere and got me airlifted down. The hospital told me it was Vertigo. It was horrible and I've been terrified of heights since, I even couldn't get on my kids bunk bed to make the top bed, I would just freeze and start crying. I was fine before that trip. Hugs xx

I got mine last month and I do love them they are extremely well made. I do however scratch my head at where I can display my overnight ticket as there's no way to see inside. I had to place the ticket into a clear sandwich bag and use magnets to stick to my bonnet although not ideal as anyone could just remove it and take my ticket. Anyone have any idea on a better solution please??

That is exactly what Louise does when I do it… in fact, she walks off so she doesn’t see me plummet to my death off some Lake District mountain 😂 Thanks for the video, we’ll have a look at your others 🙂

To be fair, cliffs and mountains are dangerous enough to always make sure you have a healthy respect for them. I'm not afraid of mountains but i have a dealthly fear of cliffs, for me and for anyone else walking with me, so i fully understand your panic. Taking my kids to tintagel was the worst experience i've ever had, even thinking about it now makes me panicky lol, so i totally get you!

I can totally relate - Andy took me on a cliff walk in my manual wheelchair & I never knew that I had an irrational fear of heights when there is no barrier to hide behind. Watergate Bay cliff walk was terrifying shale sliding & I did this all so I could film by overlooking a waterpolo match on the beach. Couldn’t even look down I was terrified & when Andy went near the edge I got worse. If there had been a fence or a railing then I’m fine bizarrely but without I crumble faster than a dodgy digestive. Well done Guy my lovely for still going for it xx

It must have been awful for you having a panic attack on Snowdon and then again on the coastal path, but it was brilliant that you shared your experience, massive well done for doing both. Being prepared going up Snowdon is essential. Years ago we went up there just for a 'leisurely stroll' and didn't realise how quick the nightfalls, we were so lucky to get down in one piece!!

I went walking in Derbyshire up one of the Tors. I had the exact same experience. You don't imagine things like that will happen. For me it was vast open space not the height or I thought. I think it's because you realise there is no where to escape to. I was ok on the way down but it's an experience I won't forget. It won't stop me though I'm heading to Scotland in February 😊

Kudos, and Snowden in the clag isn’t much fun (having done it many times!). Really good video which will help many.

Amazing vlog guys but no shame in fearing heights! I do not enjoy heights at all but a couple of years ago I joined my wife on a "desensitisation " course. She was a confirmed arachnophobic but by the end of the course she was holding a range of large , and I mean large, spiders. Part of the course involved hypnotherapy. I was incredibly surprised since this helped with my fear of heights. Keep up the good work. SId and Nicola, Rugby
