I want to "do something" for my 40th. Walk up a mountain or something

[newrecruit]

Actually I'm not sure about mountain but I'd like to do something with a couple of friends.

Stay in a nice B&B and maybe walk across something, round something, up something.

Any suggestions. I'm after breathtaking views and a feeling of achievement, but don't necessarily need Iron Man.

Sounds lovely. Do you mean in uk? what time of year?

Snowdon?

Snowdon is pretty easy to walk up (the "tourist path"). And Snowdonia is stunning.

How about the Lake District? Can recommend you a fab B&B and a mountain walk in the area that I think would fit the bill if you are interested

The waterfalls walk in Ingleton?
One of the three peaks?

What about white water rafting? Did this with my 2 BFF's for our 30th and we had a right laugh. Google outdoor adventure places near you and book for a nice meal later that night.

What about climbing the O2? here

this is what I would do -that's if 40 hadn't already been and gone

Cycle round the Isle of Wight path. It's my goal for turning 40! (That and a gigantic new tattoo)

Walk over hot coals?

Swim with dolphins?

Do a ski-dive?

What kind of thing floats your boat?

I'd want to walk up Kilimandjaro for my 50th

Sky-dive - A/C know what I want better than I do; again

Or London to Brighton bike ride?

I'm hitting a bigger birthday than you this year, OP. (add 20 years).

Personally I would like Juan Martin del Potro to be my challenge! (For a whole night)

Pacific - swimming with dolphins is not very nice for the poor dolphins.

The three peaks challenge isn't that great for the mountains - we were at Wasdale Head last summer and sadly the paths and local facilities were in a filthy state due to three-peakers (lots of litter, toilets left in a truly revolting state etc). Best pick one peak and treat it with the respect it deserves :)

magi, no, I know, I was a bit facetious - sorry.
Trying to figure out what kind of thing the OP would be interested in.

I'm sure Juan would find your challenge very nice

I did a 2 day sky-diving course in the Trossachs several years ago - it was great, v thorough and finished with 2 solo-jumps. V nice country house hotels around the place too.
That kind of thing?

3 peaks sounds good (I'm not a litterbug )

Or the Lake District.

I'm not really an adrenaline junkie and terrified of flying!

zip wire? learning a new skill? walking the south west coast path - that's what I would like to do. all the canals in Birmingham on a barge?

Isle of Man coast path is 95 miles, so you'd need a few nice B&Bs ... and you can go on the ferry.
