50th birthday party ideas?

[IronWoman]

My friend and i would like to have a joint 50th party (we had joint 30th and 40th) in July.
Before, we've had traditional parties at venues with friends, but this year i fancy doing something a bit different.
Having lost friends younger than ourselves over the past year and me battling chronic disease and two major surgeries, i feel that we ought to push the boat out a bit and do something different.
Does anyone have any ideas please - maybe something you or your friends have done or you have heard about?
Many thanks. xx

Are we talking theme ideas or ideas on how you can celebrate with friends in an original way? x

Sorry - yes, ideas on how to celebrate in an original way please Mummy.

I was thinking of something like another friend did and doing a wing walk for charity, but my friend would never do that. Just something a little different. xx

White water rafting (great fun apparently), paintballing, go-karting or rallying for a day!

Oooh, good ones!! Anymore? I'm not sure my friend will go for the more dangerous sports (love rafting, but she can't swim) and i am not well enough to be running about too much (being pelted with paintballs, lol). xx

A theme park, especially a really scary ride you wouldn't normally go on and have your photo taken together
