Challenge porl!

So I've reached a point in my life where I'm apparently becoming an adult. When I was a teenager I went to Howtown Outdoor Centre and whilst I was there Mr. Mitchell warned us all about growing up and getting real jobs and mortgages etc. At the time none of us thought anything of it.

However, somewhat out of the blue, I've landed myself a job. Bit scary really - what happened to all the adventure? Is it over? I certainly hope not!

So here's the deal: I'd like suggestions for adventures, challenges, tasks and things to achieve! I enjoy working towards a goal - so I want ideas!

Please don't hold back with ideas, you could suggest anything - the worst thing I can do is ignore you and I wont do that (honest)!

So here's a list of things that I've already done that I think fit the bill;

  • Learned to drive a car
  • Completed the Great North Run and the London Marathon (twice in fact)
  • Went kayaking in the alps for three weeks
  • Learnt to cook some simple things; lasagna, stir fry, pasta bake, pancakes etc
  • Gained the First Aid at Work/ Level 2 kayak coach/ St. Georges/ All three Duke of Edinburgh's Awards
  • Went on a family holiday to Mexico
  • Learnt to unicycle


Here's a bit of a list of things that are on the cards;
  • Learn to drive a bus/ fly a plane
  • The New York Marathon
  • Go kayaking in the alps again  
  • Travel lots! (not sure where to go)
  • Learn to play a musical instrument
  • Gain the Single Pitch and Mountain Leader Awards (rock climbing and hill walking)
So that's the sort of stuff I've done, but I want to do so much more - got any ideas?

Contact me!

p.s. This isn't some sort of mid-life crisis at the age of 22 - honest
