What do you secretly think looks fun?

You might never do it, or you might do it once you’ve got some courage.

Mine is LARPing. It looks like so much fun. But I don’t think I could ever do it

There’s a really steep hill at one of the castles near us, down to where the moat would have been and I always think it looks like it would be SO much fun to roll down. Definite risk of breaking a wrist or something though

Do you live in Peppa Pig land..?

Quaker meetings, line dancing. Not at the same time.

Quaker meetings are lovely but they're not exactly fun.

LucyLocketLostThePlot · 13/07/2022 20:23

Shuffle dancing. Although I think my stamina may be lacking.

Wipeout

Bobsledding (they’d have to widen the track based on my current dimensions)

Oh yes, that does look fun. Though just the chance to do some normal sledging would be good, it must be over a decade since we had enough snow round here.

What's larping?

Drugs look fun - tempted when I'm older with less to lose.
Big food/ mud/ foam fight
Reverse bungee - somehow looks less scary to shoot upwards than jump off something

I think LARPing is 'live action roleplaying'

Being a pilot of a small airplane. Just being able to fly off anywhere (I know the logistics of it make it very complicated!) But I bet it feels amazing.

TBH I am not great with heights and get motion sickness watching DS play mincraft so unlikely to happen. But I get the appeal.

StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind1 · 14/07/2022 00:47

I've tried fencing, it's really fun.
I was a teenager at the time though.
There's a Zip line over the Clyde, I live near and am looking into it...

Flying lessons, driving a fast car on a track, riding a motorbike, and paragliding.

Not all at the same time.

Microdosing. And parachuting.

StrawberryLipstickStateOfMind1 · 14/07/2022 02:15

My car actually sits comfortably at 100, it's a Mini!
Yes it's MN, no one ever breaks the speed limit because they'd kill the long lasting chicken and massive salad..in real life, at 3am on an empty motorway I can't see much wrong with driving over the speed limit.

calmlakes · 14/07/2022 02:18

I live somewhere where cannabis has become legal, I am very tempted to buy some gummies.

Also electric scooters.

calmlakes · 14/07/2022 02:21

@weebarra definitely try paddleboarding I started at 45 it is great for the not quite so young peeps.

EvergreenForest · 14/07/2022 03:53

Ecstasy

Swinging

Driving a JCB with a wrecking ball and destroying a building

And going to one of those inflatable water parks...

DoncasterHombre, when you are an adult you don't actually have to run away after you knock on someone's door, you can just nonchalantly saunter away, you're a grown up, no one suspects you… not saying how I know this.

I may end up LARPING, it looks like a hoot.

I have fenced and it is fun, especially sabre.
Acid too, for a while, when I was young.
I did a Morris dancing workshop at a camp, and it was fab, surprisingly strenuous.

And yes, I would love to be in a stadium rock band and do the whole thing, strutting about, lyrics sung back, crowd surfing.
Not sure how it would look on the outside though, at my age. And weight.

TheBikiniExpert · 14/07/2022 05:44

I have tried paddleboarding - fun but got seasick really quickly.

BalloonSlayer · 14/07/2022 06:08

I would like to be the operator of the water cannon when football hooligans are rioting.

When I was a bit younger I really wanted to go
to Download and also experience a mosh pit. I think I would get badly just now days

I go to Download, but don't partake of the mosh, it's fab, great atmosphere and very friendly.

likeliterally · 14/07/2022 06:46

Being on drugs at a festival.

KohlaParasaurus · 14/07/2022 06:55

Being on a panel show on television.
Dining at a restaurant where you pay around £500 to be served lots of tiny portions of fancy show-off courses.

Line dancing!

My friend does this and loves it she's just got some amazing cowboy boots for her birthday we all have her money she's well into it and there's a kids class round here too!!!

duffed · 16/07/2022 07:10

Soubriquet come larping with us! We go as a family with my 3 and 10yr olds and have the best time. Camping trip, food on the fire, bashing each other with swords,. great costumes. Very friendly to newcomers.

Also, whoever suggested it absolutely up for adult soft play, not sure if I'd go!

redfairy · 16/07/2022 08:32

I alwats wanted to go on a bouncy banana but when I got the chance the sea looked too deep and scary. I always imagine all the sea life underneath me waiting to gobble me up
