    I remember going there (I think it was that one - Gullivers Kingdom in Derbyshire??) when I was about 12 I think.

    That's the one - it's on a REALLY steep hill! I was so glad I'd been doing all the running, otherwise I don't think I'd have got to the top!

    As it was, I was racing Ryan up them.....whilst pushing a pram! :D

    I fell in the water at Matlock Baths on the same holiday - similar thing to the woman on the log flume. Me and my sister were out on a pedalo on the lake at Matlock and when we got to the jetty it was a kid about my age.

    He let go of the boat as I stepped off it and I stepped into the water rather than the jetty. Luckily it was only about hip height but my white and peach gypsy skirt was a bit soggy....I've had a thing about stepping on an off boats ever since...:rotfl:

    I love boats but I'm petrified of stepping onto them as I fell and went completely under one once and got stuck in seaweed. Three guys had to pull me out, I was only 10. Very scary.

    Kids look lovely Snags and I'm glad that peace was kept :)

    :eek: How scary Gemmz!!!! I went all funny breathed when I read that...........shudder.

    I once had a panic attack in the sea in Majorca when I was stung in the leg by a jelly fish and the pain was so bad that I thought it was a shark attack and it had bitten my leg off:o:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
