"Kayak, canoe, gorge walking, coasteering and wet caving too.  "
Fairplay to you.....couldn't do caving....I like being inside tight wet hole but only if it's attached to a female! |

I'm a kayak and canoeing instructor. I would say I was any good though. Just like a lot of qualifications gained from the army, they are mainly gained through attendance Lone. Ha |

I used to love watersports and enjoy them frequently in my teens - not enjoyed them for years but only yesterday my brother and I started looking for kayaks to buy ready for summer really can't wait to get back on water.
Back then used to enjoy sailing, surfing, kayaking and power boating.
*wish we could edit typos rather than having to delete and re-do. Grrrr |

The same goes for my driving test too. Passed it in the army after 4days. |

"I went caving a few years ago. Probably the scariest thing Ive ever done!"
Standard caving can be very "meh", but add water and sumps, ducks and canals and it gets "sporty" lol!
(Ducks... as its name suggests, duck you head underwater to get past a low roof, sumps are longer, may need swimming, canals... long channels of low headroom and high water, sometimes only a few inches left to breath, they can be a real nerve-tester lol).. crazy thing is I hate confined spaces!! |

Chase boat (rescue kayak) for white-water rafting was the scariest thing, spent more time crapping myself trying to survive the rapids than I did looking out for the rafts lol! |

"Do you actually qualify as a cave diver?
I thought they just removed your brain and substituted rocks? "
