| Been walking and paddling off the local beach in January in the very early hours of the morning (freezing cold) - (pub staff party, alcohol involved). At least I sat down on the slipway and removed my shoes and tights, the guys got their suits ruined. |

| Lots of things come to mind - Jumping from Adam to Eve on Tryfan in the dark, ice climbing in shorts in Glencoe, bungee jumping at Cowes regatta, driving a tractor over a cliff...............have done quite a few silly things - smiling about some that I cannot repeat now

| I can add to the list of daft swimming - mine was in the North sea off the Scottish coast in November. When I got home I climbed into what I was sure was a scaldingly hot bath, only to realise later that it was barely tepid but my body temp was so low it felt really hot! I've also teetered along a foot wide wall with the sea raging on either side, wearing high heels and a ball gown. I once had a mad feminist moment and decided that being 8 stone and 5' 2" should be no bar to moving a large wardrobe down the stairs on my own. Barely avoided being squished to a pulp at the bottom! Think that's enough for now  Claire |

| Drove a tractor through a dung heap to check the difflock worked, it was about 4' to 5' deep and I went through all right, tractor didn't quite smell the same afterwards. Cycled through a car park barrier when it went up on my approach. It went down as I passed through, 15' metal pole hit me on the head. Got so drunk I was still throwing up the following afternoo, scotch swigged from the bottle at midnight is not a good idea after arriving at the aprty around 5pm.

| After falling out with one of my bosses about 7 years ago I parked the lorry and trailer in Heathrow short stay carpark posted the keys home to Northern Ireland Jumped on the plane and came home. Cost him £600 to get the lorry out Drank a 10 glass bottle of Vodka and a 5 glass bottle of vodka while on anti biotics for blood poisioning. Passed out (one and only time)and woke up 10 hours later to find out I had been sick in just about every room in the house.I dont drink vodka anymore Craziest thing I was ever involved in was being hijacked by the Russian mob at the Polish / Russian border. I spent 3 days in a first class Moscow hotel were, if I could order it by phone I could have it but I just wasn't allowed to leave the suite. Food ,drink,drugs and girls were all there if I wanted them.After 3 days I was very glad to see my truck back even if the 25 tons of sirloin steak that was in the back had disapeared. I can laugh about it now (just) but I never was as scared as I was for those 3 days . Needless to say I dont do drugs and at that time viagra hadnt been invented. There's a lot more that I could tell but its probably better that I dont

| When I was a kid, at Sandown on the Isle of Wight there used to be a pier, where little coaster type pleasure ships would call. We used to wait unti the boat started moving away, then jump into the whirlpools left by the propellors! Mad or what?

| Driving land rovers up a steep, grassy seawall and stopping at the top... in time! Two points to make here- 1, get it wrong and you straddle the wall, all 4 wheels a dangling - so tractor is needed to pull you off. 2, get it wrong and dont brake quick enough- straight into the mud/water, 6' drop first though.- so again - tractor is needed. A great test of skill or more like stupidity. One of our group was the son of the farmer who owned land and most inportantly- A TRACTOR! He also joined in the fun.....oooops not sure if I should tell that tee hee.We were at least 30 years old at the time......sorry Mum, Sorry Dad! also Sorry to all the muddy landrovers!! and there were a few! Oh yes one small point to add, If tractor could not get you out of mud or itself got stuck....the tide would surely come in!!!!! not sayng any more on that part of the story......

| Whilst serving in the Royal Engineers we were on an adventure training week in February and were ice walking along striding edge (Helvellyn). My section of 8 bods all got out plastic fertilizer sacks and used them to tobbogan downhill until we either crashed, or came to a halt. It was sheer madness as none of use knew what was under the ice and snow and we shot down like rockets. It was pure adreneline whilst it lasted but cost a broken leg, one finger and several dozen stitches between us., not to mention the bruises. Am I glad I did it..........................YOU BET Would I do it now.........................NO CHANCE
