Things to do before I'm old LOL

[Bypassed21]

Hi Mumsnetters.

I reach a big birthday next year and I've been thinking of compiling a list of things to do before I reach my 50th birthday.

So far I've got:
Eat an Oyster
Go to Glastonbury (although I think that my not be possible as all the tickets from last 2 years will be rolled over so unlikely new tickets will be available)
Drive a combine Harvester (How I'm going to pull that off I have no idea LOL!)
See the Northern lights

For context I am divorced have 2 teenage children Work full-time have a reasonable income but not rolling in spare money.

Hit me with your ideas - I'd love to see what others weird, wacky or adventurous or just interesting ideas might be.

I want to

• learn to paddleboard (I'm extremely uncoordinated.. dh wants to sell tickets to watch my attempts!)
• have a flying lesson

For combine harvester..look at diggerland. Might not have a CH, but there is other big vehicles.

oooh paddle boarding is a good one!

Yes will have to Google a bit about the Combine one :)

When you reach 50 you'll have redefined what “old” is

I'm 52 and I view people of 85+ to be old

One of these days I'll figure out what I want to do when I leave school (36 years ago and now retired! 😂😂)

Ooh this sounds interesting. How about
Climbing a big mountain
Opera at palais garnier
Wild camping

ha ha yes @OoglyMoogly I know what you mean. One day I'll figure out what I want to do "when I grow up!" . I remember being a teenager and thinking over 25 was old!!
I quite like the wild camping idea I actually met a lady the other day who was doing exactly that!
Also just thought of another one - skinny dipping - never done it.

Another thing I want to do is abseil off a really tall building. It looks so much fun.

• Climb
• long distance hike? West Highland way or tour du mont blanc or Coast to coast or something?
• run a 5k/10k/half marathon/whatever is a little outside of your comfort zone
