“I’d been in a helicopter once before but it didn’t stop me being amazingly excited, especially when I realised I was riding shotgun. There was that stomach lurching wobble as the helicopter began to take off and hovered precariously above the ground. [...] One second we were hovering above the trees and then the world had plummeted beneath us. The canyon suddenly dropped off to more than one mile below us. It was like having the earth pulled out from below your feet. I’ve never been afraid of heights or suffered from vertigo but in that split second I felt my legs wobble and my stomach lurch.”
