What's the most "daring" thing you have ever done?

Glad I am not alone. I think I meant Skiddaw but something got lost there!! Why did we do these things? I know I always hated heights, but didn't feel brave enough to say "No"

Oh gm, you reminded me of going rock climbing in the Peak District when I was on a school outward bound trip (how dated does that sound?) I got stuck half way up a twenty foot climb having been struck by an attack of vertigo. I could go neither up nor down so the instructor had to come up behind me and move my legs to the next place for me.

I once went hill walking/climbing in the Lakes with school when I was about 17. I wasn't too bad going up (I think it was Helvellyn, but might have been Siddaw) but came down backwards to everyone's amusement and with the help of sympathetic PE teacher. Never, never again.

She has my complete sympathy, elegran!

Bags A friend was persuaded by her husband to walk the Sgurr nan Gillean ridge. She coped fine until they met a party walking in the other direction - then she just sat down and covered her eyes while they negotiated round her.

DD1 is right with you ga. We took her up Liathach when she was nine (her first munro). There's a bit near the summit which involves a narrow path with steep wall of mountain above and steep fall below. She did it but burst into tears at the other end. We had a calming sit-down and descended the mountain a different way. I had a similar experience at the Sgurr nan Gillean ridge in The Cuillin, which is only a foot or so wide with steep drops either side. I wasn't brave. I just sat down and trembled. Enjoyed the scree run down though.

grannyact ...I'm quivering, and I wasn't there.

With tears of terror pouring down my face I stepped around a huge boulder that had fallen onto the narrow mountain path I was on. There was only room for one foot at a time on the ledge and a sheer drop to the side. My husband was urging me on having already negotiated the obstacle and the alternative was to climb back down the mountain. Hugging that boulder and inching my way around it was the most daring thing I'd ever done! Even the memory of it makes me shiver still!

Well, perhaps 'Old Romantics' might be more appropriate, nellie!

Can't imagine pete and gramps as New Romantics.. Can you?

Yes, and apparently we're stuck in the 80s too! So bring your curly perms and shoulder pads everyone!

Yeas we have a sign over the door that says "Abandon hope all yeah who enter here" so come and join the hopeless

oldjohn Before you decide to venture further into Lil's den of iniquity bar, please beware of Littlenellie gramps Pete and all the other rascals that sit around the bar all day doing little other than boozin' and smoozin'...once you're in with that crowd, you're well and truly doomed!

Oh go on bagsdont be a spoilsport... ...you can't leave us wondering

Hi oldjohn you will be an excellent buddy for gramps ,have you been introduced yet...I am. Nellie to my friends

Hi there, oldjohn You seem to have a fine sense of humour. Hope you enjoy Gransnet.

Thank you for saying it first, trishs. I also daredn't say what the most daring thing I did was. It was nothing like anything that's been mentioned so far. Nothing like.

Recently I was invited to a fancy dress night at the local bridge club. Dressed as a ventriloquist doll I spent the remainder of the evening as dummy.

I finally agreed to have a liver test done. The doctor said they were unable to detect any traces of a liver. Tomorrow I shall ask for a bacon and egg test.

I'm happy to report the side effects of drinking a full bottle of washing up liquid. From several orifaces I can produce bubbles.

Not sharing my daring dos but I did have a skimpy little Mary Farrin top once. Completely forgotten the name until I read this thread.

ella think gramps is more than capable of holding his own....no comments please
