Been there, done that!

Learn to ride and buy a motorbike - proud owner of a Honda CB400 and a classic Vespa




Climb a mountain - Mount Rainier, Mount Kilimanjaro, Mont Blanc, Mount Snowdown



Uhuru Peak - The roof of Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Jan 2007




Mount Rainier, Washington State, June 2005

Learn rock climbing - don't do it so often, have recently discovered Via Ferrata - what fun!!!




Go on a safari in the Serengeti - seeing wild animals - Elephants, lions, cheetahs, hippos at close range - how beautiful nature can be





See Robbie Williams in Concert - July 2006, San Siro Stadium, Milan - WOW!!!



Learn how to ride a horse, and go on a horseback trek, buy a horse - yes, one year on still taking lessons, trekked the Andes from Mendoza, Argentina to Santiago, Chile and am a proud owner of a 5 year old chestnut - Daffyd




Take a tram ride in San Francisco - what an experience, reminds me of the times I used to watch the Streets of San Francisco when Michael Douglas was still handsome!



Go ice climbing - Dolomites on New Year's Day 2000 - what a great way to start the new millenium!

Go on a hot air balloon ride - sunrise over the desert in Dubai - a magical experience.



Experience the white nights - Tampere, Finland June 2002. Partying late at night but having full daylight at 2am was a surreal experience.

Go white water rafting and canyoning - Mayrhofen in the Zillertal region in August 2007, participating in the Ability Challenge, I experienced both canyoning and white water rafting - great fun. Won't be the last time!



Visit New Orleans and get tipsy in Bourbon Street - A couple of weeks before Katrina struck I visited New Orleans - what a vibrant place - one hopes that it has not lost all it's magic



Get involved in a charity or charitable organisation - My participation in the Kilimanjaro and Ability Challenges saw me get involved in the organising committees - hard work but very fulfilling.

Create a website or blog - here's my work of art!

A excellent highlight of your outdoor achievements in a nutshell. Congrats, and as the North Face motto goes, Never Stop Exploring!

I'm very proud of you xx
