Not scared of heights but draw the line at going on the roof. Just shows you're as young as you feel. We have a fella in Club Lotus who's 90+ and he drives up in his s/c Elise. If I can get in an Elise at 90 it will be a miracle!

I was up on my roof last week and I'm not exactly 'young'. Next door's chimney rendering had blown off in the 80 mph plus winds. One piece blew over my roof and fell just missing of the VX, one went over the VX again just missing, and one piece just missed my solar panels. I kindly removed the 18" three or four kilo piece in their gutter overhanging their conservatory. A few days later I enquired of 'him' as to exactly what insurance cover he had because there's a huge 2x2 ft piece still hanging off the chimney waiting for the next big wind and what he was going to do about it and he said "I don't know". Then his wife waited till I was out and came around and told my wife to tell me not to ask him about it, but deal with her because I made him feel 'cornered'.
The only difference between now and when I was younger is I sometimes use a safety rope and sometimes an old climbing harness and, I've made a roof ladder. I have to stand/balance on the apex to adjust my weather station and renew the batteries. Although my roof isn't particularly high and mainly single story, you don't have to fall far to do yourself a serious mischief.
