Extreme sports

Anyone do any, just watched the movie Everest and have the bug to do something like that. I used to do up to grade 4 kayaking which could get pretty hairy, but not done any for years.

I wonder if I'm too old to get into mountaineering.

I used to be a skydiving instructor (hence the name). I used to do a lot of skiing and sailing but not done so in 5+ years unfortunately

Snowboarding... not really sure that's classed as an extreme sport these days, I guess so?

Don't see why you'd be too old for mountaineering, didn't someone who was 60 odd climb Everest? If you're fit enough for it, crack on.

Not if you have a big beard and a BIG BOOMING VOICE like my mate Brian... :cool:
