@Annandale hire a boat from Laggan locks in Scotland. I think the company is Le Boat. You will never see scenery like this in your life ever again. It's the most amazing & scary thing we've ever done. You get about 10 mins training on how to drive the boat & your free. The locks are hard but it's so worth it. Best time of my life.

It wasn't a canal boat though. I don't know what to call it. Like a huge speedboat with rooms & a little kitchen & toilets.

Own the specific dog breed of my dreams (can't happen for 10-15 years as current DDog wouldn't cope)

And a stretch goal of visiting every country in the world My resolve might be tested when I get to places like South Sudan, but I feel it's a good goal to have; it stops me going back to the same place twice.

Already ticked a few off my list - skydiving, owning a dog, visiting certain countries for instance.
