Daring Do !!!
Posted On: 10/06/2013 09:11:51

Here 's a question i was asked recently. 


"Whats the most daring thing you have done?" 


After much pondering i guess it must be . . .. . . .


abseiling from the Forth Road Bridge. 


For someone who has a fear of heights it seemed like it was about a mile high. Once i finally plucked up the courage to chuck myself over the edge i nearly s** t myself , luckily noone was below me . Once i got going it was really exillirating . I rembered my instructor telling me that the pulley system used had an automatic brake on it so halfway down i plucked up some more courage and let go of the rope . For an instant i thought i would plummet to the ground but hey ho the instructor was right so i dangled a while to take in the view then carried on till i reached terra firma. 


Why did i put myself through it . . . to raise money for a local charity and because my pal said i was a woose and wouldn 't do it. 

Would i do it again .. . You betcha and id take my pal with me and let him go first then jangle his line. Well might not be daring to some folks so tell me what daring do you have done

For me I will list several.  White Water Rafting we all had to wear numbers incase we were injured or died.  Trip lasted 16 hours and was wonderfu.  Moved to Rochester NY all by myself to start life anew with a new job.  I only knew one person there and that was just casually online.  Once I was driving in Chicago during rush hour had no idea where I was but knew I wanted to get to St. Louis so I just picked out a semi truck crossed my fingers and followed him all the way on 3 interstates..and yes  I lucked out he was on his way to St. Louis.  guarded a bunch of baby copperhead snakes until someone could get a box ans we could locate them somewhere we would be safe and so they would be safe.



There are a few othr things but thats it for now.


Holy smoke ... good on ya but what if the trucker was heading to somewhere like Texas??

Terra Firma for me too, I don't have a death wish!

Once  i got over the initial shock of having no ground to stand on it was exillerating.

Good for you, I am too fond of terra firma to do that! My most daring was a Adventure woman trip all my own.. It was great.

That's cool. everyone has differnet fears and phobias so what one person might see as brave another might see as easy to do. I think it depends on where our individual comfort zones lie.

Kudos for both of you, but..I have to say, I'd rather jump off the bridge (cord or no cord) than to drive in rush hour traffic on an interstate. SweetMoments video is enough to make me cringe!!

I dont drive much on the motorways but they're not a s busy the interstate looks.
