I wrote a reply earlier and then just as I was about to press send the whole thing froze and I lost the lot

Anyways an 'adrenalin-filled meet-up' sounds good and maybe we can each choose our own crazy way to fall through the air (bungy, sky-dive, abseil... anything else we've missed...???)...!!! Still not ok about bungy jumping but a group sky-dive sounds wicked

... just remembered tandem paragliding too... from my house you can see them continually floating and wizzing and spinning gracefully down from the top of the gondola to the playing fields below... can often hear people shouting with glee as they come down... so also looks good fun... can we add that one to the pot???

How about BASE jumping?
BASE jumping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia & http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...42216354_5.jpg That'd be for the braver people amongst us, but it's another crazy way to fall through the air

I think out of all the suggestions, the tandem paragliding appeals to me most, but any bit of adrenalin rush will hit the spot

Hmmm, I wonder how expensive all these things are though

I'd skydive before I'd bungee jump, for similar reasons as Lu. Paragliding or hang gliding would be even closer to my speed. I'm definitely on board for black water rafting, though.
