Things you've always wanted to do but never done?

[yawning801]

Mine are:
ride a horse on a beach (done the horse bit, not the beach bit!!)
volunteer for the Samaritans (I love helping people)
get a camera and do some photography
volunteer/work for a dog rescue centre

I'll think of more I'm sure, but for now share with me some of yours!

That's amazing Lamb, well done! And you know what they say, age is just a number!

Hot air balloon ride over Gisborne NZ at dawn. I once read it was the first bit of land to see dawn (I think, I may now be muddled about this.)
Cannot persuade any family members to do any balloon flight, not even over nearby Peak District.

I learned to ride in my 30s. Galloping along a beach is fabulous! Have a wonderful time, Lambbone!

I've always wanted to watch the Monaco grand prix from a yatch and sail on the Queen Mary
Both highly unlikely though.

Oh and i'd like to do that car rally across the desert in a battered old car - I already have the car!

Mine are all to do with travel. I'm starting to do a few now!

I always wanted to write a novel as well, not bothered about it selling, just wanted to write and finish one!

Fly first class
Visit Argentina
Run a marathon (hopefully that goal is within reach)

See great apes in the wild (orang-utans, gorillas or chimps, probably in that order)

Learn to fly a light aircraft.
(inspired by relative who got her pilot's licence in her 50s and took me for a flight over Edinburgh about 25 years ago. Once my DCs have both left home I might look into it again)

I've written a novel(la) and I'm in the process of editing it. I've always wanted to be properly published but I don't know where to start
