I’ve done sky dives back in the day which were fun. Too old for all that now though.
What about you though, my lovelies? What cwaziness have you got up to?

I did one base jump back in the day.
When I watch Jeb Corliss, 'Grinding the crack'* on Youtube I get tingles and so wish I was younger, there were no wing suits back in the early 80s

I did a casevac (casualty evacuation) from a combat zone when I was a soldier. We were in an Alouette helicopter with the doors off. The casualty on the stretcher was sticking out both sides, with our rifles tucked in next to him. Me and the other stretcher bearer had to squat over the stretcher, hanging onto the roof straps while the pilot took off, rolled 90° and roared out over the bush just above tree height going - and I'm not kidding - "yeehaaaaaaaa!". Man! You had to be there!

Driving a car around in a tight circle while everyone else is trying to murder me, and each other. I have experienced some banger racing and it is the most fun I have had with my clothes on. |

You need fixing? You have a screw loose? "

Wow, I've wondered what it would be like to do that. Probably wise not to have made that a regular hobby  |

"I was almost stabbed. It was pretty exhilarating but I wouldn’t recommend.
Sorry that happened to you"
It was alright. Lightning quick reflexes and 100m sprint like Usain Bolt helped me out a lot |

I’m more into adventure than adrenaline so nothing that exciting,
probably sailing a 2 man sailboat around the whitsunday islands . I’ve sailed a few bigger cats before but a single small hull even in low wind is extremely challenging and kept up on our toes to avoid capsizing. |

"50mph, chin on the handlebars of a bicycle, coming down off Dartmoor this summer. "
I had a trainibg route that I could get close to those speeds. Only thing was it was round a blind bend, one time there was a set of roadwork lights and they were on red. I just managed to stop behind the last car in the queue. |

Jumped out of a plane over Interlaken in Switzerland, above the mountains when I jumped, eventually parachuted to a landing zone.
Next day I drove into the same mountains and paraglided down to the same spot.
The year after, scubadived in the Maldives.
Have hit extreme roller coasters pretty much all over the place.
Exciting, but nothing beats getting a BJ in the chill out area of a night club from a sexy nurse, surrounded by 20 vanilla clubbers. |

"Flown in a fighter jetas a navigator? "
No, it was in the USA where you’ll be amazed what you can pay to do.
Lots of money got me a backseat in a former soviet block trainer jet. |

Probably coasteering in Wales. Just me and a life jacket vs a cliff and the sea below at Aberiddy Blue Lagoon. Huge drop which they tell you to run at.
You only realise why that’s the only one they tell you to run at when you get about two steps from the edge, it’s not because you have to clear anything, it’s because you can’t back out that late at speed when you see just how far you are going to be dropping and everything clenches.
Then it’s just that moment of freefall until you plunge into the sea.
Other than that prolonged adrenaline rushes are things like ridge scrambles in the mountains, Crib Goch, Steels Ridge, Tryfan. |

Some lairy track and rally driving, but 50mph+ on a push bike dropping down off the moors.
That, and a via ferrata out over an open rockface. I never quite trust the pro when trad climbing, but the feeling of being protected by steel cables and staples whilst having the freedom to play on the slate edges was really liberating. |

I've done innumerable crazy antics over the years.
Handing an Opal Fruit to a mate down the Autobahn at over 100 mph (they were in the car in the next lane).
Riding a spooked racehorse at full speed.
Nurburgring in a race car with a pro driver.
Having a lioness pass inches beside me in Africa while watching her cubs play.
Almost landing a hot air balloon on the M5 in rush hour (NOT by design).
...I could keep going!!!

...Oh, and worthy of mention, a high speed motorbike day with the W Mids constabulary. I've never driven so fast on UK roads - and with a cop bike tailing you, knowing you're not gonna be nicked

I spent 3 months in New Zealand and did just about every high adrenaline activity there was and loved them all. Without a doubt though the biggest rush I’ve ever had was crossing the finish line in a marathon |

Yes, this! Incredible.

Planning on going for a dip on boxing day. Wooooooo! "
Try going for a dip in a Scottish loch first thing in the morning in winter, feels amazing when you get out |

Sky dive in Australia, bungee jump in South Africa. 2 of my best memories ever. Amazing holidays. Such breathtaking views and such thrill seeking events that really gets the adrenaline pumping |

I don't really go for exhilarating being a scaredy cat that gets dizzy stood on a chair.  I did a toboggan ride down from the Great Wall of China, that was pretty amazing! I went last so I could pootle along slowly
