I tried that once and it really freaked me out.I had a major panic attack at abput 10 meters as it suddenly felt very unnatural. I dont this the face mask helped at all as i can be slightly claustrophobic.

Gardening, cleaning and walking.

Rose,
I tried scuba diving once, and I found it pretty frightening as well - not my sort of thing at all. I like the sun and the wind on my face. But best of luck with it :D

Sailing, however, I do like and I used to do a lot of it - but not now because I'm too busy with other things.

I find gardening a chore, ours is tiny and we often fall out about who's responsibility it is!

Our garden/s is about half an acre and it takes me about 4 hours just to cut all the grass and a lot of the work is more like forestry because we have so many trees and bushes. We also have a huge pond where mallards and moorhens nest in the summer, so I have to clean the ditches as well. I actually like that kind of outdoor work and it keeps me pretty fit as well :D

I'm a bit worried about that as well but think I will be okay, I love the water. I intend to do this at home as I live by the sea so that I dont have a freak out on holiday and look a prat. Being a surfer and snorkeller used to wet suits and masks, so prepared to give it a try

I used to be a mad keen windsurfer, but since small person arrived (almost 13 yrs ago) I've done much more sailing instead as it's more family friendly. Although my garage is a shrine to my windsurfing days, I've just never got back into it. We try to get to the North Norfolk coast as often as possible during the summer to sail there. On a day to day basis, I do quite a lot of running & occasional MTB days out.

I would never in a million years bungee jump, parachute jump....and as for base jumping :shock: . I've tried cleaning a few times too, but to be honest it's way too radical for me :mrgreen:

Football, music and summer holidays in the Greek Islands. And running my own little business, which is probably the biggest risk I have ever taken in my life!

I love running, tennis, white water rafting and also enjoy sailing as well as jetskiing (hope to buy one this year, but I said that last year) caving but not done this since uni.
