One of the most enjoyable things I have ever done was driving Hagglund BV206's down the Falklands. Land or water, they can go anywhere and are awesome fun in the deep snow.
 
Actually, treking through a forest on an Elephant and then swimming with them as they cooled off in a pool was quite fun. Just remembered that one.

Went on a track day holiday a few years back in Almeria spain. The company transport your bike,leathers and spare tyres in a stillage and you just jump on a plane and meet them there. Then it was 4 days of riding a superbike on a track in 30 degree heat. That experience was hard to beat.
 
On exercise against US Fleet. Got tapped at 30,000 feet by F14s. All 6 aircraft carried out a "plunge" (roll on back, pull down to aim at sea, throttles to idle, open the airbrakes and Mach 0.8 in a straight line down).

Pulled out at sea level and we were directly behind the F-14 - we claimed a "kill".
 
So many ( yes been very lucky for a average Joe)

First Skydive (Training was was watching a video, jumping off a chair and your away)
White water rafting in Nepal getting thrown out and escaping with a inch of my life utterly unharmed without a scratch was unheard of.
First time getting the knee down on the motorbike (so much fun) and the excess speeds (very addictive)
Trekking on the back of elephants and washing them in the river after
Opening the front of the hut and swimming into crystal water in the Maldives
Doing the dam buster run in the back a Lynx with your feet dangling from the sides 4ft above the water and feeling badass with a Gimpy at your side.



Its a pretty big list actually, would be happy to die tommorow, thats always been the goal :)

(Nepal really should be on everyone`s list of places to visit)

Snowboarding on fresh powder in Canada.

I would also add scuba diving, I've had some really magical experiences, wreck dives, night dives etc

I was on the 7th Heaven part of Blackcombe(?) and Whistler during a massive snow drop, every run was a fresh coating of powder, I'd almost forgotten until you reminded me, that was an awesome day.

Or the time in France we followed some 'skiers' off piste and ended up in real trouble when they parascended off the mountain. When we finally found our way to a clear run back down we could hardly strap our boards back on it was that steep, but the totally virgin powder made for a hell of a run. Sitting outside a bar afterwards and just seeing our 3 trails down the section of mountain was pretty special.

Lol my knees are shot now though, I am sure others have huge list of stupid as well (skiing on powder and that first time you link carving up over a good stretch is full on ZEN mode)

I could never get on with Scuba diving, from all the stupid things I have done (and their has been plenty) it feels just utterly dangerous, with ZERO margin for a **** up and my lack of knowledge in that everything you touch is poisonous and everything you see will given half the chance take a huge chunk out of you. How people can find it relaxing is not in brain patterns for some reason, Its exhausting ! The only reason i did was for the GF at the time who loved it.
 
In the gym doing PB's, hanging around with friends doing crazy/silly things and normal stuff like playing pool and gaming, a trackday in a sierra cosworth, some sexual encounters :eek::D, but (sadly) my most fun times have happened under the influence of mind altering substances :o Edit: all from a long time ago unfortunately, seems the older i get the less fun in life i have :(

No sex or drugs......rules out most of the fun things in life.... :(

Most memorable fun things outside that? Probably what the yanks would call 'free soloing', although we just call is soloing.....or even just run-out sections of rock climbs where if you fall, you're gonna die. Really focuses the mind and the sticks in the memory.
